Mutli-site system configuration support


Info
titleNote

Multi-site system configuration supports since AmpCon v1.13.1.

Multi-site system configuration allows user to manage switches using different SSH login credentails and license portal accounts from different sites in one AmpCon server.

Give the new created site configuration a "Conifguration Name" and filled other field according to user requirement.

  • "Device default login user" + "Device default password" will be used to access the switches.
  • "License portal URL" + "License portal user" + "License portal password" will be used to send request to license portal.
  • "Security config file" will be loaded to switch at the beginning of ZTP process.
Warning
titleWarning

If special "Device default login user" + "Device default password" are specified in site configuration, then it will not work with global parking security config file.

Since when switches register to AmpCon as unkown switches, it will automatically load parking security configuration file which may refuse SSH login with the configured  "Device default login user" + "Device default password" in site configuration.

In this case, user should update global parking security with empty file content.

Click "Add" button to save the site configuration.
