Configuring DHCP Auto-Image Update (Configuration File and Image)

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure DHCP autoconfiguration to
configure TFTP and DHCP settings on a new switch to download a new image and a new configuration
file.
Note Before following the steps in this table, you must create a text file (for example, autoinstall_dhcp) that
will be uploaded to the switch. In the text file, put the name of the image that you want to download (for
example, c3020mipservices-mz.122-44.3.SE.tar). This image must be a tar and not a bin file.

This example shows how to configure a switch as a DHCP server so it downloads a configuration file:
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# ip dhcp pool pool1
Switch(dhcp-config)# network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
Switch(dhcp-config)# bootfile config-boot.text
Switch(dhcp-config)# default-router 10.10.10.1
Switch(dhcp-config)# option 150 10.10.10.1
Switch(dhcp-config)# option 125 hex
0000.0009.0a05.08661.7574.6f69.6e73.7461.6c6c.5f64.686370

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Create a name for the DHCP server address pool and enter DHCP pool

The prefix length specifies the number of bits that comprise the
Note
address prefix. The prefix is an alternative way of specifying the
network mask of the client. The prefix length must be preceded
by a forward slash (/).
Specify the IP address of the default router for a DHCP client.
Specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
Specify the path to the text file that describes the path to the image file.
Upload the text file to the switch.
Upload the tarfile for the new image to the switch.
Return to global configuration mode.
Specify the Cisco IOS configuration file on the TFTP server.
Specify the imagename on the TFTP server.
Specify the text file that contains the name of the image file to download
Specify the address of the client that will receive the configuration file.
Put the interface into Layer 3 mode.
Specify the IP address and mask for the interface.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
