File Transfers
Using USB Autorun
Using USB Autorun
USB autorun helps ease the configuration of ProCurve switches by providing
a way to auto-execute CLI commands from a USB flash drive. Using this
solution, you can create a command file (also known as an AutoRun file), write
it to a USB storage device, and then execute the file simply by inserting the
USB device in to the switch’s ‘Auxiliary Port’. The AutoRun file gets executed
automatically when autorun is enabled on the switch, and can be designed for
various purposes: for example, to configure the switch, to update software,
or to retrieve diagnostic logs for troubleshooting purposes.
The overall USB autorun solution requires the following components:
A ProCurve switch which can securely use USB autorun to load autho-
rized configurations and write reporting information. This requires soft-
ware versions K.13.01, T.13.01, W.14.xx or greater.
The network management application ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+).
PCM+ is required to create a valid AutoRun file and view the results after
the file has been executed on the switch.
A non-proprietary USB flash drive.
Note The ability to create a valid AutoRun file will be incorporated into an upcoming
ProCurve Manager update. Refer to the ProCurve Manager documentation for
details. For guidelines on using the USB port for basic file copy capabilities,
see “Using USB to Transfer Files to and from the Switch” on page A-19.
How It Works
The general process for using USB Autorun is as follows
(
steps 1, 2, and 7
require an upcoming update to PCM+ as described above
)
:
1. Create an AutoRun file using PCM+.
Refer to the ProCurve Manager
documentation for details.
Note Creating the AutoRun file in PCM+, includes the following steps:
a. specify the target device or devices.
b. create the CLI script to be executed on the target device(s).
c. determine if the file will be signed and/or encrypted.
