• If the DHCP server did not send these options and the backup TFTP/SCP
server address parameter is empty then:
- For DHCPv4:
SCP—The Auto Configuration process is halted.
TFTP—The device sends TFTP Request messages to a limited
Broadcast address (for IPv4) or ALL NODES address (for IPv6) on its IP
interfaces and continues the process of Auto Configuration with the first
answering TFTP server.
- For DHCPv6: The Auto Configuration process is halted.
• If the configuration filename was supplied by the DHCP server (DHCPv4:
option 67, DHCPv6: option 60), then the copy protocol (SCP/TFTP) is
selected as described in Auto Configuration Download Protocol (TFTP or
SCP).
• When downloading using SCP, the device accepts any specified SCP/SSH
server (without authentication) if either of the following is true:
- The SSH server authentication process is disabled. Note that by default
the SSH server authentication is disabled in order to allow downloading
configuration file for devices with factory default configuration (for
example out-of-box devices).
- The SSH Server is configured in the SSH Trusted Servers list.
If the SSH server authentication process is enabled, and the SSH server is
not found in the SSH Trusted Servers list, the Auto Configuration process is
halted.
• If the information is available, the TFTP/SCP server is accessed to download
the file from it.
The download process is done only if the new configuration filename is
different from the current configuration filename (even if the current
configuration file is empty).
• A SYSLOG message is generated acknowledging that the Auto
Configuration process is completed.
