![]() ![]() Now we need to edit the DHCP config to give it an IP range, and enable option 150 where we will put in the IP address that we will use for the Pi later on (192.168.1.254). Let’s go ahead and upgrade and update the Pi: Most everything will be done on the CLI for this document, just SSH in (default account is Username = pi, Password = raspberry). For those of you running Linux I am sure you know Linux better than I do, so have at it. Here is the link for how to install it for those of you with Windows. I did the desktop version as I am not great at Linux. This document should walk you through setting up a Pi to apply a configuration to your Cisco gear.įirst you need to download the OS. ![]() I didn’t want to use their laptop–as installing a DHCP server on a non-technical persons laptop is just asking for trouble–and I wanted it to be affordable. So all we need to make it so anyone can configure the Cisco gear is a server running DHCP and TFTP that anyone can use. If the device finds this file it will then import the config. It will then ask for several named files–I am going to use “network-confg” for this document. Long story short, when a device (router/switch) first starts up it tries to get an IP address through DHCP, if that DHCP server has the TFTP (150) option set the device will reach out to the IP listed. Here is a quick link if you want more info. I wondered if there was a better way so that only the tech needed to be involved.Ĭome to find out when an unconfigured Cisco device is first started it will go turn on the auto-install feature. At work we have many routers and switches, and we have highly skilled people who spend a lot of time configuring replacement devices often through a technician’s laptop who is on-site. ![]()
