Monitoring and Completing the DHCP Auto Configuration Process

When the switch boots and triggers an Auto Configuration, a message

displays on the console screen to indicate that the process is starting. After

the process completes, the Auto Configuration process writes a log message.

When Auto Configuration has successfully completed, you can execute a

show running-config command to validate the contents of configuration.

Saving a Configuration

The Auto Configuration feature includes an AutoSave feature that allows the

downloaded configuration to be automatically saved; however, AutoSave is

disabled by default. If AutoSave has not been enabled, you must explicitly

save the downloaded configuration in non-volatile memory. This makes the

configuration available for the next reboot. In the CLI, this is performed by

issuing a write command or copy running-config startup-config command

and should be done after validating the contents of saved configuration.
