Hi George -
I know this was a long time ago (and has been an even longer time coming), but
attached is what I sent after AF2014.
What we have now is the file format, it will be JSON based and there will be a
published spec. It will also work with DHCP Option 66. For Zero Touch Config
type of operation, we are leveraging the ICC feature in that once a radio is on
13.3, if a radio registers via ICC, it will turn on DHCP and request Option 66.
That option can be populated with a URL to the config file (HTTP or TFTP) that
will be retrieved and applied and if a reboot is required, the reboot will be
applied. Once the SM comes back if it had to reboot, it will be on the new
configuration.
You will also be able to backup/restore the file via the webpage and SNMP and
read it and edit it.
Again, this is coming in 13.3 release and we'll be discussing some things at
WISPAPALOOZA related to this. Obviously an SM needs to be on 13.3 to support
this, so the fully promise of Zero Touch Config won't be there until SMs are
shipping with 13.3 on them.
That is the update we have to give you at this point.
Regards,
-Aaron

I know a TFTP config download kind of thing was talked about before. But it
would be nice if we could manually apply a config template file directly
through the SM GUI, so I can have the guys get new or recovered radios set up
without having to mess with too many things (AP, TFTP server, etc), just upload
file.. apply, reboot, whatever.

What isn't completely defined is the actual format of the file, we are
determining that now and looking at XML and JSON. What is determined is that
you will have the following capabilities:
* Straight backup of everything from a radio, including Calibration
values and feature keys. This backup can only be fully reapplied to the radio
that it was pulled from, since it contains calibration and feature key that is
tied to that specific device
* Backup of a general configuration that includes everything else. This
backup can be used as a "golden config" where you set all of your common
settings and can then reapply this backup to any radio of the same model.
* Retrieval of this configuration file via DHCP Option 66 and/or a new
RADIUS VSA. This would point to the file to download and the full
configuration would be applied during registration (RADIUS) or DHCP.
o Can be used in conjunction with the ICC feature to allow vanilla radios to
be installed, get their config, and then re-register with the proper
configuration
* The general backup file will be readable and editable, (and
generateable, is that a word?) so that you can modify it or generate it on the
fly for general configuration items (i.e. not device specific items like
calibration/feature key/etc, but everything else).
* The format and interface of the file will be published so that you
know what the content means and how to construct your own.
Does that help clear it up a bit?

You are not going to like this Bill... While it was good that config
upload/download was mentioned as part of R13.3 to be released in Q3 or Q4 of
2014, reference to that feature was very vague and I didn't get the feeling it
was well defined or even if it was really going to make that release.

NOBODY is talking about a text-based config file?!?!
