Configuration with LANconfig

The rollout agent is configured in LANconfig under Management > Rollout Agent.





Operating mode
If you select the operating mode "DHCP-controlled", the rollout agent sends the rollout server the attributes that the device received from the DHCP server by means of the vendor-specific DHCP option 43. In the "Active" setting, the device transfers the attributes configured in this dialog (for example, if no DHCP is available on the network). Setting the mode to "Off" disables the rollout agent.
Note: The "DHCP-controlled" operating mode does not overwrite manually configured attributes. This makes it possible to perform a comprehensive pre-configuration based on the latest contact information for the rollout server (address, login data) as communicated by the DHCP server.
Rollout server (configuration)
Use this entry to specify the address of the rollout server that is responsible for rolling out the configuration.
Note: An entry can take the following forms:
  • IP address (HTTP, HTTPS, TFTP)
  • FQDN
Rollout server (firmware)
Use this entry to specify the address of the rollout server that is responsible for rolling out the firmware.
Note: An entry can take the following forms:
  • IP address (HTTP, HTTPS, TFTP)
  • FQDN
HTTP username
Set the user name used by the rollout agent to log on to the rollout server.
HTTP password
Set the user password used by the rollout agent to log on to the rollout server.
Project number
This entry specifies the rollout project number for the rollout agent.
Additional parameter
Use this entry to specify any additional parameters that the rollout agent should transfer to the rollout server.
TAN
Use this entry to specify the rollout TAN.
Device number
Contains the device number of the device that is running the rollout agent.
Reboot time
Here you set the time after which the device reboots after a rollout.
Request interval
If a configuration fails, the time in seconds you set here is the delay before a request for a configuration rollout is repeated.
Note: If the value is "0", the renewed attempt starts in 1 minute.
Request delay
This entry contains the delay time in seconds for a rollout request.
Randomly spread request delays
With this entry, you specify that the request for a rollout takes place after a random delay. This setting prevents all of the devices involved in the rollout from requesting a configuration from the LSR server all at the same time.
