Managing Auto Configuration (CLI)
This section provides information about the commands you manage the
Auto-Install Configuration feature on the switch. For more information about
these commands, see the
Dell Networking N2000, N3000, and N4000 Series
Switches CLI Reference Guide
at support.dell.com/manuals.
Managing Auto Configuration
Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to
manually activate the Auto Configuration process and download a
configuration script from a remote system to the switch, validate the script,
and activate it.
NOTE: The Auto Configuration feature begins automatically when the switch is
booted and no startup-config file is found or if the system boots and finds the
boot host dhcp command in the startup-config file.
Command Purpose

boot host dhcp Enable Auto Configuration for the next reboot cycle. The
command does not change the current behavior of Auto
Configuration, but it does save the command to NVRAM.

successfully downloaded through the Auto Configuration
feature.
