System Configurations
System configurations contain the following two types:
Global system configuration
The first time you log in to AmpCon-DC, you must add information to the global system configuration, The global system configuration can’t be removed.
Non-global system configuration
If the default username and password of switches to be managed are different, you can add multiple non-global system configurations. You can remove the non-global system configuration if it is not needed.
A system configuration contains the following information:
The URL, username, and password of the License Portal. The information is used to send requests to the License Portal.
Default username 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 configuration is not included in the non-global system configuration.
The maximum backup number for the configuration snapshots. This configuration is not included in the non-global system configuration.
The IP ranges of switches that are allowed for AmpCon-DC management. This configuration is not included in the non-global system configuration.
Whether to enable debug logs for server-side operations or not. This configuration is not included in the non-global system configuration.
Adding a Global System Configuration
The first time you log in to AmpCon-DC, the global System Config system configuration is blank. You must add information to configure the global System Config. Follow these stepssystem configuration:

Parking Security Config File: Optional. To eliminate any unauthorized access, switches in the parking lot need to 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-DC but without generated configurations.
...
The username and password configured in step 2 are always used by AmpCon-DC to SSH to switches. So ensure that configurations in the Security Config file and the Parking Security Config file don’t make AmpCon-DC fail to log in to the switch. 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.
Allow Switch Source IP: Optional. Allow specified subnets from which switches can access AmpCon-DC.
Debug: Optional. Enable debug logs for server-side operations or not.
