Monitoring and Completing the Auto Install Process

Upon boot-up in the absence of a saved config file, a message displays on the console
stating that the Auto Install procedure is beginning. A message subsequently displays when
Auto Install is complete. The message also indicates that configuration must be saved to
avoid performing Auto Install on the next reboot.
When Auto Install has been successfully completed, the messages are in buffered log, not on
the console. You can execute a show running-config command to validate the contents of
configuration. You must be logged in as administrator.

Saving Configuration

An administrator must explicitly save the downloaded configuration in nonvolatile memory so
that the configuration will be available on the next reboot. If you are using the CLI, first make
sure the configuration is correct, then issue a copy running-config startup-config
command.

"final" configuration file is not downloaded, as described above, the entire process continues
every 10 minutes.

You can terminate the Auto Install process at any time prior to the downloading of the config
file. This is most optimally done when the switch is disconnected from the network, or if the
