Chapter 3 Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway
The switch broadcasts TFTP server requests if the TFTP server is not obtained from the DHCP replies,
Note
if all attempts to read the configuration file through unicast transmissions fail, or if the TFTP server
name cannot be resolved to an IP address.

After obtaining its hostname from the default configuration file or the DHCP reply, the switch reads
the configuration file that has the same name as its hostname (hostname-confg or hostname.cfg,
depending on whether network-confg or cisconet.cfg was read earlier) from the TFTP server. If the
cisconet.cfg file is read, the filename of the host is truncated to eight characters.
If the switch cannot read the network-confg, cisconet.cfg, or the hostname file, it reads the
router-confg file. If the switch cannot read the router-confg file, it reads the ciscortr.cfg file.
