You need to deploy switches or import switches so that these switches can be managed by AmpCon-Campus.

  • Importing switches

If a switch is deployed but not deployed with AmpCon-Campus, you can import the switch to manage it with AmpCon-Campus. See the Importing Switches section.

  • Deploying switches

    • Deploying a white-box switch (switch on which PicOS is not installed) includes registering with the AmpCon-Campus server, obtaining a PicOS image from the AmpCon-Campus server, installing PicOS, configuring the switch based on system configurations and switch configurations, and installing a valid license on the switch. See the Deploying White-Box Switches section.

    • Deploying an integrated hardware and software switch (switch that has PicOS installed) includes registering with the AmpCon-Campus server, configuring the switch based on system configurations and switch configurations, and installing a valid license on the switch. See the Deploying Integrated Hardware and Software Switches section.

Deploying White-Box Switches

Deploying a white-box switch (switch on which PicOS is not installed) includes registering with the AmpCon-Campus server, obtaining a PicOS image from the AmpCon-Campus server, installing PicOS, configuring the switch based on system configurations and switch configurations, and installing a valid license on the switch.

To deploy a white-box switch, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the system configuration for each switch contains the default username and password of the switch. For more information, see Adding System Configurations.

  2. Click Service > Switch Model in the AmpCon-Campus UI, and check whether the PicOS image that you want to install for each switch model is listed in the Deployed ONIE Image drop-down list.

Deploying Integrated Hardware and Software Switches

Deploying an integrated hardware and software switch (switch that has PicOS installed) includes registering with the AmpCon-Campus server, configuring the switch based on system configurations and switch configurations, and installing a valid license on the switch.

To deploy an integrated hardware and software switch, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the system configuration for each switch contains the default username and password of the switch to be deployed. For more information, see Adding System Configurations.

  2. Prepare the global configurations that you want to push to each switch. For more information, see Configuring Global Configurations.

  3. Prepare the configuration templates that you want to use. For more information, see Configuring Configuration Templates.

  4. Add a switch configuration for each switch. For more information, see Adding Switch Configurations.
