Device Prerequisites
The device prerequisites provided in this section apply to the following devices:
Access Points that are fully managed by OmniVista Cirrus 10
AOS Switches that are fully managed by OmniVista Cirrus 10
The minimum device software versions for onboarding and management are detailed below.
Onboarding
For onboarding (call home and connection to the OmniVista Cirrus Server), devices must be running the following minimum software versions:
AOS 8.9.82.R01 - If the AOS device is running a software version less than 8.9.82.R01 (for example, 8.9.81.R01 or lower), OmniVista Cirrus automatically upgrades the device to 8.9.112.R04 when the device is added to the Device Catalog.
AWOS 4.0.7.14 - If the AWOS device is running a software version less than 4.0.7.14 (for example, 4.0.7.13 or lower), OmniVista Cirrus automatically upgrades the device to 5.0.1.1066 when the device is added to the Device Catalog.
When a device is added to the Device Catalog then calls home, OmniVista Cirrus checks the version of software the device is running. If it’s below the minimum software version required, OmniVista Cirrus automatically upgrades the device to the latest supported version during onboarding, regardless of the Desired Software Version set in the Device Catalog.
Notes:
There are configuration steps that must be completed to onboard devices. See Onboarding Devices for OmniVista Cirrus Management for more information.
When a switch running AOS 8.10.R1 GA boots up without a vcboot.cfg file for auto-configuration, the SSH is disabled by default causing provisioning to fail. Only the console is enabled. This is not limited to a particular platform and can be seen on any switch running AOS 8.10.R1. To workaround this issue, you can do one of the following:
Enable AAA authentication SSH on the 8.10R1 GA switch via the CLI.
Upgrade to AOS 8.10R1 MR1 or AOS 8.10R2 (or higher) release, which include a fix for this problem.
