• The configuration file specified by the line does not exist on the
USB key or is corrupted.
• The image file specified by the line does not exist on the USB key
or is corrupted.
– If parsing of the line failed for some other reason, the line is ignored
and a SYSLOG message is sent.
NOTE:
When both Auto-Update and Auto-Configuration are performed, the image
file is loaded first, the device is booted and then the configuration file is loaded.
Preparations for Using Auto Configuration from a TFTP Server
The Auto-Update/Configuration feature enables configuring the device from
a configuration file found on the TFTP server.
Two methods may be used:
• One-file Read, described in "Auto Configuration (One File Read Method)"
on page 338. This method is used if a configuration file is found on the
TFTP server.
• Multi-file Read, described in "Auto Configuration (Multi File Read
Method)" on page 339. This method is used if a configuration file name is
not found on the DHCP server, or the configuration file is not found on
the TFTP server.
Auto Configuration (One File Read Method)
This method requires the following preparations on the DHCP and TFTP
servers:
• TFTP Server
Place a configuration file, for example config.txt in the main directory.
This file can be created by copying a configuration file from a device.
When the device is booted this becomes the Running configuration file.
• DHCP Server
– Configure the DHCP server with option 67 and the name of the
configuration file on the TFTP server (for example, config.txt).
– Configure the DHCP server with option -20 or 66. This is the IP
address of the TFTP server.
