Before you deploy, configure, and manage switches with AmpCon™-DCCampus, you must configure the System Config in the AmpCon-DC Campus UI.

What is System Config

System Config contains the following two types:

...

The first time you log in to AmpCon-DCCampus, you must add information to the global System Config. The global System Config can’t be removed.

...

  • License Portal URL and its user name and password. The information is used to send requests to the License Portal.

  • Default user name and password of switches to be managed. The information is used to access the switches.

  • A security configuration file with PICOS security-related set CLIs. Before you deploy and configure a switch, the switch needs to be configured with an initial security configuration to eliminate any unauthorized access. Security Config file is loaded to switch at the beginning of switch deployment.

  • A parking security configuration file, which is used to push initial parking security configuration for those switches in the parking status. This is not included in the non-global System Config.

  • The maximum backup number for the configuration snapshots. This is not included in the non-global System Config.

  • The IP ranges of switches that are allowed for AmpCon-DC Campus management. This is not included in the non-global System Config.

  • Whether to enable debug logs for server-side operations or not. This is not included in the non-global System Config.

...

The first time you log in to AmpCon-DCCampus, the global System Config is blank. You must configure the global System Config:

  1. Log in to the AmpCon-DC Campus UI, and click Service > System Config.

  2. On the System Configpage, enter the following information:

That is, configurations in Initial parking security config file will be pushed to switches that already registered to AmpCon-DC Campus but without generated configurations.

  • Allow Switch Source IP: The IP ranges of switches that are allowed for AmpCon-DC Campus management.

  • Debug: Enable debug logs for server-side operations or not.
