System Configuration setup
Before using AmpCon for deploying PICOS switches, System Configuration parameters need to be set. Login to the AmpCon GUI. Select the Settings->System Configuration menu and fill in the values for the following parameters:
...
The security configuration contained in the Initial security config file will be in effect in the switch only until the full configuration is pushed by AmpCon.
7. Initial parking security config file path: To eliminate any unauthorized access, switches in “parking lot” will be configured with an initial parking security configuration. That is, configurations in “Initial parking security config file” will be pushed to switches that already registered to AmpCon but without generated configuration.
Click + in the Initial parking security config file path field to add the security config file for switches in “parking lot”.
Notes:
As the username and password configured in step 1 are always used by AmpCon to SSH to switches, so, users should ensure that configurations in security config file and parking security config file will not make AmpCon fail to log in to the switch with the username and password configured in step 1.

Click Save to save the System Configuration parameters.

Mutli-site system configuration support
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Multi-site system configuration supports from 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.
Create new site system configuration
Enter page "Settings" → "System Configuration", click "+" button on the top right of the form.
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 | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
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.
