Managing Downloaded Config Files; Restarting The Auto Install Process - NETGEAR GSM5212P Software Setup Manual

7000 Series Managed Switch
requisite configuration files have not been configured on TFTP servers. Termination of the
Auto Install process ends further periodic requests for a host-specific file.

Managing Downloaded Config Files

The configuration files downloaded through Auto Install are stored in the nonvolatile memory.
The files can be managed (viewed, displayed, deleted) along with files downloaded through
the configuration scripting utility.
A file is not automatically deleted after it is downloaded. However, the file does not take effect
upon a reboot. If you opt to save the config file, the saved configuration takes effect upon
reboot. If you do not opt to save the config file, the Auto Install process occurs again on a
subsequent reboot. This might result in a previously downloaded files being overwritten.

Restarting the Auto Install Process

The Auto Install process is automatically started on a subsequent reboot if the configuration
file is not found on the switch. This can occur if configuration has not ever been saved on the
switch, or if the administrator has issued a command to erase the configuration file.
During a particular session, the Auto Install process can be restarted if the administrator has
previously stopped the Auto Install process, and then chooses to restart it. This action
re-initiates the process for this login session only. NETGEAR recommends that this action be
performed only when the administrator is certain that configuration is clear in order to have
predictable results.
Reinitialization of the switch after a clear config automatically activates the Auto Install
process if there is no configuration file stored on the switch.
