1. Verify that the software images for the switches are installed on the TFTP or FTP server.
2. Verify that you have configured the correct TFTP or FTP address on the Administration > Settings
tab. If you change the TFTP server now, the address is not correct unless you reconfigure the pre-
deployment.
3. If you use a remote DHCP server, verify that the DHCP configuration file that AFM generates for the
switches in the fabric is integrated into the DHCP server. This file enables the switch to connect to
the DHCP server and download the correct configuration and boot files.
4. Restart the DHCP server that contains the generated DHCP file that you created on the DHCP
Integration screen. For information about DHCP integration, refer to DHCP Integration. For
information about how to view the DHCP configuration file for a fabric, refer to Viewing the DHCP
Configuration File.
5. From the menu, click Network > Fabric Name and then the Configure and Deploy tab.
6. From the Deploy Fabric drop-down menu, select Deploy and Validate.
The Deploy and Validate dialog box appears.
7. On the Deploy tab, select the switches to deploy.
8. Power up the selected IP-ready switches.
9. Click Deploy Selected and in the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
The Configuration deployment option dialog box appears.
10. Select a configuration deployment option:
• Apply configuration changes to the switch — Apply new configuration changes from AFM to the
switch.
• Overwrite entire configuration on the switch — Overwrite the entire current configuration on
the switch instead of applying only the changes to the current switch configuration.
– If the Reset to factory defaults option is selected, AFM resets the switch to the factory default
mode (BMP mode). AFM deploys the new configuration on the switch by overwriting the
current configuration.
– If the Reset to factory defaults option is not selected, AFM deploys the new configuration on
the switch by overwriting the current configuration.
• Skip Deployment and proceed to Validation — Skip the deployment process and validate the
switch.
11. Check the progress and status of the deployment in the Status, Status Details, Response Actions,
and Last Deployed Time columns.
For information about how to view validation errors, refer to Validation. See also Troubleshooting.
For information about the progress and status of selected switches and operations allowed during a
fabric state, refer to Operations Allowed During Each Fabric State and Understanding Fabric Phases.
