4. Installation, Upgrade, and Configuration Changes
40 of 51
1. Create a new Device Profile with the CLI Credential set to < No Access >.
NOTE: The SLX ZTP+ Connector does NOT support configuring CLI credentials on the
device.
2. Create the ZTP+ Configuration and select the new Device Profile you created in
Step 1 as the Administration Profile.
3. After the ZTP+ process successfully completes and the device is added to Extreme
Management Center, select a Device Profile that uses the correct CLI credentials
for the SLX device in the Administration Profile.
4.6.5 ExtremeXOS Device Configuration
ExtremeXOS devices on which firmware version 30.3.1.6 is installed do not download
and install new firmware versions successfully via the ZTP+ process. To correct the
issue, access the Network > Firmware tab in Extreme Management Center, select the
ExtremeXOS device you are updating via ZTP+, and change the Version field in the
Details right-panel from builds/xos_30.3/30.3.1.6 to 30.3.1.6.
4.7 Firmware Upgrade Configuration Information
Extreme Management Center supports firmware downloads and uploads to devices
using TFTP, FTP, SCP, and SFTP. However, before firmware images can be
downloaded or uploaded from the server, Extreme Management Center needs the root
path or directory for each of the protocols. The following default root paths for each
protocol are configurable from the Administration > Options > Inventory Manager tab:
Protocol Root Path:
l TFTP: /tftpboot/firmware/images/
l FTP: /tftpboot/firmware/images/
l SCP: /root/firmware/images/
l SFTP: /root/firmware/images/
To upload firmware images that are 2 GB or less to the server, use the Extreme
Management Center Network > Firmware tab. For files larger than 2 GB, use a third-
party client (such as SCP, WinSCP, or FTP).
For example, to use SCP to upload a firmware image to the SCP root path on the server,
enter the following:
