Description

Autoinstallation is the automatic configuration of a device over the network from a pre-existing configuration file that you create and store on a configuration server—typically a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. You can use autoinstallation to automatically configure new devices and to deploy multiple devices from a central location in the network.

Solution

SETUP: 
 
[EX4200-1] (Default Configuration)  ge-0/0/0 ---------- [EX4200-2]          (10.1.1.1)     (DHCP_SERVER)
                                                                ge-0/0/1 ---------- [TFTP server]      (10.1.1.25)
 
DHCP server configuration: 
dhcp {
    boot-file auto_test.conf;
    option 150 ip-address 10.1.1.25;
    pool 10.1.1.0/24 {
        router {
            10.1.1.1;
        }
    }
}

Before you start make sure the switch configuration is zeroized - there are two options:


Option 1:
=======
[edit]
root@test-dnd# run start shell
root@test-dnd:RE:0% rm -rf /config/juniper*

Option 2:
=======
 
root> request system zeroize

root@test-dnd> request system reboot
Reboot the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes

Place the configuration file on the TFTP server at root:
  • file name :auto_test.conf

The EX Switch will boot and get an IP address in the offer packet, DHCP will send the TFTP server IP address (Option 150) and boot file name.
Once the EX Switch gets this information from DHCP it will try to fetch the conf file from the TFTP server as shown below

alt



Output from the TFTP server where the file auto_test.conf is located.
You can see below that the Switch connects to the TFTP server to retrieve the file:
