Some devices support the Fast Device Replacement (FDR) service.
The FDR service stores network and operating parameters of devices on the network. If a device is replaced, the service automatically configures the replacement device with parameters identical to those of the removed device.
In order to configure this service in the device, refer to the documentation of the device.
The FDR server relies on the following advanced services embedded in the controller (depending on the reference):
oDHCP server for device address assignment
oFTP server for device parameter files. This optional service is used only by devices that contain parameters.
oTFTP server for device parameter files. This optional service is used only by devices that contain parameters.
The DHCP server allows the configuration of the new device with the same addressing parameters.
Devices that contain parameters use the FTP or TFTP server to save their parameter files.
The replacing device requests the FTP or TFTP server to restore the parameter files.
