Manually updating oui.txt (MAC list)

[Carsten Jensen]

I’ve been trying to manually update the oui.txt, copying the file into
/var/www/fog/management/other

is the import triggered by a cron, or will it only import after pressing the update button which fails due to it cannot download the file.
the FOG server is not connected to the internet, so it cannot download the oui.txt thus I have to do it manually.

cheers

I’ll have to take a look at the code.

I do purposely tell the GUI to download the oui.txt from the website. This is done not to make things difficult, but ultimately to try making things simpler. I suppose one method, if you can, is to temporarily connect the fog server to the internet, perform the MAC Address Listing Update, then disconnect.

I didn’t add any checks to see if the file is already present because often times the file is outdated at that point, which is why I attempt to get a new file every time.

Unfortunately it’s not an option for me to connect the FOG server to the internet.
it’s not critical for me though it’s nice to see the vendor

Perhaps a file upload form for manually updating would be available in the future?

Depending on your flavor of Linux there are several different ways to handle updates and installs for an air gaped server. Some examples here [url]http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/89152/ways-to-update-ubuntu-debian-based-distros-offline[/url]

I guess you didn’t read/understand the problem, but your answer has no relevance for the subject.

Tom, is this a non-blocking method?

[Tom Elliott]

Blocking or non-blocking, shouldn’t matter. I believe, for now the method is a blocking mechanism, but in Carsten’s particular case, the OUI file cannot be downloaded, hence the issue he’s running into.
