# Cloud Management by YNO

## 1. Function Overview

This product supports Yamaha Network Organizer (YNO), a cloud-based network management service provided by Yamaha.
YNO is a cloud service that enables centralized management of multiple network devices, including routers and wireless LAN access points. It helps improve operational efficiency and visibility.

The main features provided by YNO are as follows.

- Monitoring device status
  You can monitor the configuration and operational status of switches at multiple locations using YNO.
  You can always view the latest information, and real-time notifications are provided when an abnormality occurs, enabling faster response to issues.

- Accessing the Web GUI
  You can securely access the switch Web GUI through YNO.
  This allows you to change settings and check device status without visiting the site, improving operational efficiency.

- Firmware Update
  You can select multiple network devices and update their firmware in a single operation.
  This reduces the maintenance workload and ensures that devices remain up to date.

Furthermore, even in a multi-vendor environment, if a Yamaha switch is deployed at the core of the LAN, devices downstream of routers manufactured by other vendors can also be visualized and managed.

## 3. Definition of Terms Used

YNO

Yamaha network organizer. A cloud-based network integrated management service provided by Yamaha that enables centralized management of network devices at multiple locations.

YNO manager

The management server for YNO. It communicates with network devices to monitor device status, change settings, and update firmware.
The YNO manager consists of three servers: ACS, XMPP, and GFW.

YNO agent

A function installed in switches and routers that communicates with the YNO manager, enabling device status notifications and remote operation.

Device ID

An ID used for authentication with the YNO manager when registering a switch as a YNO agent.

## 4. Function Details

### 4.1. Equipment status monitoring

With this function, switch device information is periodically sent to the YNO manager.
In addition, when the device status changes or when a problem such as an abnormal temperature or power supply abnormality is detected, notifications are sent immediately.
Using this information, you can always check the latest status of equipment at multiple locations from the YNO management screen, and any abnormalities can be identified in real time.

There are three types of instant notifications.

- Alarm

  - Notifications of device abnormalities and resource shortages (e.g., abnormal temperature, power supply abnormality, increased CPU usage).
    For details, refer to the YNO Operation Manual – Maintenance – Managing Alarms.

- Stack events

  - Notifications of changes in stack configuration status (e.g., disappearance or detection of a member switch).
    For details, refer to the YNO Operation Manual – Equipment Management: Switches – Equipment Management.

- Equipment status

  - Notifications of other device status changes (e.g., hostname, L2MS operation mode)

### 4.2. Web GUI access

With this feature, you can securely access the switch Web GUI through YNO.
This enables administrators to change settings and check device status without visiting the site, improving operational efficiency.
Furthermore, when used in conjunction with the “LAN Map”, the LAN-side network configuration can be visually confirmed, making it easier to understand the operational status.

Please note that when accessing the Web GUI from YNO, the following functions are not available.

- Web console function

- Firmware update by uploading firmware from a PC

- Backup / restore function

- CONFIG import/export function

### 4.3. Update firmware

With this feature, you can remotely update switch firmware in bulk through YNO.
New firmware can be applied simply by issuing instructions from the management screen, allowing devices at multiple locations to be kept in an appropriate state at all times.
This significantly reduces the maintenance workload and improves both operational efficiency and safety.
For detailed update procedures, refer to the YNO Operation Manual – Device Management – Switch – Firmware Update.

Please note the following points when using this function.

- Disabling certain configuration commands
  When firmware is updated using YNO, settings configured with the following commands are not applied.

  - firmware-update reload-time
    The system restarts immediately after the update is completed.

  - firmware-update reload-method
    When operating in a stack configuration, the reboot method is forcibly set to “sequential restart”.

- Configuring the HTTP proxy If you are using an HTTP proxy, configure it using the following command.

  - firmware-update http-proxy

- Download timeout setting
  Set the firmware download timeout period using the following command.

  - firmware-update timeout
