Using TFTP

When the device reboots, or the auto-configuration feature has been disabled and then re-enabled,
the device uses information from the DHCP server to contact the TFTP server to update the running
configuration file. If the DHCP server provides a TFTP server name or IP address, the device uses
this information to request files from the TFTP server. If the DHCP server does not provide a TFTP
server name or IP address, the device requests the configuration files from the DHCP server.
The device requests the configuration files from the TFTP server by asking for filenames in the
following order:
•
•
•
If the device is successful in contacting the TFTP server and the server has the configuration files,
the files are merged. If there is a conflict, the server file takes precedence. If the device is unable to
contact the TFTP server or if the files are not found on the server, the TFTP part of the configuration
download process ends.
Select Command > TFTP > Configuration to access the TFTP configuration.

you enter is within the allowed range. Instead, if you do exceed the range for a numeric
value, the software rounds the value to the nearest valid value.
