Figure 38. IOA Pre-deployment Workflow

• Management IP — Displays all the IOA blades available in the discovered chassis. If the discovered

chassis is configured with an IP address, AFM populates with the IP address that you can edit.

• VLAN Configuration — Apply a VLAN to the Layer 2 VLT. Include at least one VLAN configuration.

• Software Images — Specifies the TFTP or FTP address (local or remote server) and the path of the

FTOS software image download to each type of switch. To stage the software, use this address.

• SNMP and CLI Credentials — Configures SNMP and CLI credentials at the fabric level. Configure

SNMP so that AFM can perform SNMP queries on the switches in the fabric. It is pre-populated with

the default IOA credentials (username root, password calvin).

• Summary — Displays the fabric name and location of the software image.

The pre-deployment configuration for IOA consists of the following tasks:

• Pre-deployment IOA - Management IP

• Pre-deployment IOA - VLAN Configuration

• Pre-deployment IOA - SNMP and CLI Credentials

• Pre-deployment IOA - Software Images

• Pre-deployment IOA - Summary
