1.3.4 Checking the Configuration

Prerequisite
The configurations of the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server are complete.
Context
You can check different items in different phases in the Auto-Config process to confirm that
Auto-Config runs properly.
Procedure
Step 1 Five minutes after unconfigured switches are powered on, check address allocation on the DHCP
server to confirm that the switches are connected to the DHCP server.
Step 2 Five minutes after the switches obtain IP addresses, check the file downloading log on the FTP/
TFTP server or log in to the switches to confirm that correct configuration files have been
downloaded.
Step 3 If the user has specified the activation delay, the configuration file will take effect after the delay.
If the user has not specified the activation delay, the configuration file will take effect

Set the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server.
For an FTP server, the IP address must be the same as the value of Option 143 configured
on the DHCP server; for a TFTP server, the IP address must be the same as the value of
Option 150 configured on the DHCP server.
Create and configure an intermediate file.
The intermediate file is configured according to the MAC addresses of unconfigured
switches and the names of configuration files. For the format of the intermediate file, see
1.1 Overview.
Save the intermediate file and configuration files to the working directory on the FTP/TFTP
server.
NOTE
If the switches are connected to the DHCP server, you can log in to the switches through Telnet but do not
configure the switches.
NOTE
Do not save a configuration file to a switch to be configured immediately after the configuration file is
downloaded; otherwise, only a temporary configuration file is saved because the configurations have not
taken effect.
