MAC Address Placeholder in URL and File Name

You can use the placeholder "<MAC>" or "<mac>" (case-sensitive) to include the device's MAC address in the URL path (folders) and the filename when configuring the Auto-Update file parameters (File Location for Automatic Update). The device automatically replaces the placeholder with its MAC address.

For example, the following Auto-Update file parameters are configured with the placeholder for a folder and for filenames:

IniFileURL = 'https://www.company.com/config_<MAC>.ini'
(auto-update)# cli-script https://company.com/files-<MAC>/cli_script.txt
(auto-update)# startup-script https://company.com/files/startup_<MAC>.txt

The device automatically replaces the string with its MAC address, resulting in a file name request that contains the device's MAC address, for example, config_00908F033512.ini or startup_00908F033512.txt. Therefore, you can configure all the devices with the same URL and file name.

If you write the MAC address placeholder string in lowercase (i.e., "<mac>"), the device adds the MAC address in lowercase to the file name (e.g., config_<mac>.ini results in config_00908f053736e); if in uppercase (i.e., "<MAC>"), the device adds the MAC address in uppercase to the file name (e.g., config_<MAC>.ini results in config_00908F053736E).
