Configuring the Client

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a switch to download a
configuration file and new image from a DHCP server:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 boot host dhcp
Step 3
boot host retry timeout timeout-value
Step 4 banner config-save ^C warning-message ^C
Step 5 end
Step 6
show boot
This example uses a Layer 3 SVI interface on VLAN 99 to enable DHCP-based autoconfiguration with
a saved configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(conf)# boot host dhcp
Switch(conf)# boot host retry timeout 300
Switch(conf)# banner config-save ^C Caution - Saving Configuration File to NVRAM May Cause
You to Nolonger Automatically Download Configuration Files at Reboot^C
Switch(config)# vlan 99
Switch(config-vlan)# interface vlan 99
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# show boot

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable autoconfiguration with a saved configuration.
(Optional) Set the amount of time the system tries to
download a configuration file.
Note If you do not set a timeout the system will
indefinitely try to obtain an IP address from the
DHCP server.
(Optional) Create warning messages to be displayed
when you try to save the configuration file to NVRAM.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration.
