Note: You need to set up configurations on a DHCP server and TFTP server first to use auto
configuration.
Setting up a DHCP Server
Set up a dynamic IP addresses pool so the DHCP server will assign an IP address to the Switch in that
1
range.
Set up a TFTP server IP address, so the Switch will know where to load the auto configuration file.
2
Set up the filename of the auto configuration file, so the Switch will know which file to load when you
3
reboot the Switch.
• Enter the filename of an auto configuration file. The Switch will load this auto configuration file
when rebooting with DHCP option 60 disabled.
• If you want to load the auto configuration file with DHCP option 60 enabled and a Vendor Class
Identifier assigned when you reboot the Switch, follow the instruction below. Otherwise, skip this
step.
Enter the filename of an auto configuration file. Set up a Vendor Class Identifier. To have the
Switch load this auto configuration file, two conditions listed above must be met. Please refer to
the following steps to see how to set up a Vendor Class Identifier on the Switch.

Select a directory on the TFTP server.
1
Put the configuration files in that directory.
