I use a collection of raspberry clients.

To ease the installation of new raspberrypi's I just want to clone the SD card. This results in an identity conflict between cloned devices. They all appear to have the same identity.

What identification does neorouter use to identify a client? How can I script a new identitiy to a raspberry client?

Is it possible to use the /dev/eth0 MAC address to identify a client?

Hi RvanStapele,

It's because the MAC information is cached in the files under
/usr/local/ZebraNetworkSystems/NeoRouter

In your cloned system, stop the NR client service, go to the folder delete all files under it, restart the NR client service and run nrclientcmd, sign in to register it (you can also use nrclientcmd -register parameter to register it). Once you sign in successfully , it will generate new setting files and cache MAC address and server information.

Let us know if you have any question.

Thanks,

Kevin, you are a man of few words!

However, I prefer nice, clear, and complete instructions. I plan to clone a LOT of raspis, ideally this should be automated but for now the manual steps for Raspberry pi are:

1. Open Terminal if your in X-Windows (or quit to the command prompt).
2. Type:

3. Erase old config file:

4. If you have been trying out multiple Neo Router products and/or servers you should erase this file too:

5. Re-start the service:

6. If you want this Raspi to have a different device name, use raspi-config to change the HOSTNAME.

- Choose ADVANCED SETTINGS
- Choose HOSTNAME
7. Re-configure the Neo Router Client.

- Answer the on-screen prompts and your new clone will be good to go!


Hope this helps.

Rich.
