Adtran 908e Gen3 zero touch with tftp

Adtran 908e Gen3 zero touch with tftp

NOTE** This is for Gen3 only. Gen2 will not zero-touch. The default config on the Gen2 is a static IP so it will not make a dhcp request. The Gen2 will require the use of auto-config.

In this doc I used a Centos 6.6 server for DHCP and tftp in a private network of 192.168.1.0

First make sure dhcpd is installed

# yum install dhcp*

Now set up the dhcpd.conf file for the request from the adtran. Option 66 and 67 are needed.

# cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

#

# DHCP Server Configuration file.

#   see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample

#   see 'man 5 dhcpd.conf'

#

#specify domain name

option domain-name "cableone.net";

option option-66 code 66 = text;

option option-67 code 67 = text;

#specify DNS server ip and additional DNS server ip

option domain-name-servers 24.116.2.34;

#specify default lease time

default-lease-time 600;

#specify Max lease time

max-lease-time 7200;

#specify log method

log-facility local7;

#Configuring subnet and iprange

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

range 192.168.1.15 192.168.1.50;

option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;

#Default gateway ip

option routers 192.168.1.1;

}

#Fixed ip address based on MAC id

host TA908e {

hardware ethernet 00:A0:C8:DC:56:69;

fixed-address 192.168.1.80;

option option-66 "192.168.1.100";

option option-67 "908econfigfile.txt";

}

Make sure you dhcp service is running and will auto start on reboot.

# chkconfig dhcpd on

# service dhcpd start

Now install tftp-server

 

# Yum install tftp-server xinetd

Configure tftp-server

cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

# default: off

# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \

#       protocol.  The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \

#       workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \

#       and to start the installation process for some operating systems.

Make sure your tftp service is running and will auto start on reboot.

# chkconfig xinetd on

# service xinetd start

Place your "908econfigfile.txt" file in the /var/lib/tftpboot directory.

Erase your startup file on the Adtran and reboot/reload.
