Description

Restrictions
NOTE: Dual-purpose (DHCP/TFTP) server utility software may require entry of the configuration
file name and path within the user interface. Alternatively, the DHCP software may require
creating a separate ext file with the configuration file name and path in a specific directory on the
server. Consult the documentation for the DCHP server software if you are unsure.
Example usage:
To enable autoconfiguration on the Switch:
DES-3550:4#enable autoconfig
Command: enable autoconfig
Success.
DES-3550:4#
DES-3550 Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch
Used to activate the autoconfiguration function for the Switch. This will load a
previously saved configuration file stored on a designated TFTP server.
enable autoconfig
When autoconfig is enabled on the Switch, the DHCP reply will contain a
configuration file and path name. The Switch will then request the file from the TFTP
server specified in the reply. When autoconfig is enabled, the ipif settings will
automatically become DHCP client (same as: config ipif System dhcp).
None.
When autoconfig is enabled, the Switch becomes a DHCP client automatically (same
as: config ipif System dhcp). The DHCP server must have the TFTP server IP
address and configuration file name, and be configured to deliver this information in
the data field of the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be running and have
the requested configuration file in its base directory when the request is received
from the Switch. Consult the DHCP server and TFTP server software instructions for
information on loading a configuration file.
If the Switch is unable to complete the autoconfiguration process the previously
saved local configuration file present in Switch memory will be loaded.
