A rescue configuration is a well-known configuration that recovers a switch from a
configuration that denies management access. You set a current committed configuration
to be the rescue configuration through the J-Web interface or CLI.
If someone inadvertently commits a configuration that denies management access to
an EX Series switch and the console port is not accessible, you can overwrite the invalid
configuration and replace it with the rescue configuration by using the LCD panel on the
switch. The rescue configuration is a previously committed, valid configuration. We
recommend that the rescue configuration include the IP address (accessible from the
network) for the management port.
To view, set, or delete the rescue configuration using the J-Web interface, select

Autoinstallation is the automatic configuration of a device over the network from a
pre-existing configuration file that you create and store on a configuration server—typically
a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. You can use autoinstallation to automatically
configure new devices and to deploy multiple devices from a central location in the
network.
No configuration is required on a new switch (a switch that has the factory default
configuration file), because it is an automated process. However, to specify
autoinstallation to run when you power on a switch already installed in your network,
you can enable it by specifying one or more interfaces, protocols, and configuration
servers to be used for autoinstallation.
Before you explicitly enable and configure autoinstallation on the switch, perform these
tasks as needed for your network's configuration:
