Example usage:
To enable autoconfiguration on the Switch:
DES-3526:admin#enable autoconfig
Command: enable autoconfig
Success.
DES-3526:admin#
When autoconfig is enabled and the Switch is rebooted, the normal login screen will appear for a few moments while the
autoconfig request (i.e. download configuration) is initiated. The console will then display the configuration parameters as they
are loaded from the configuration file specified in the DHCP or TFTP server. This is exactly the same as using a download
configuration command. After the entire Switch configuration is loaded, the Switch will automatically “logout” the server. The
configuration settings will be saved automatically and become the active configuration.
Upon booting up the autoconfig process is initiated, the console screen will appear similar to the example below. The
configuration settings will be loaded in normal order.

NOTE: Dual-purpose (DHCP/TFTP) server utility software may require entry of the
configuration file name and path within the user interface. Alternatively, the DHCP software
may require creating a separate ext file with the configuration file name and path in a specific
directory on the server. Consult the documentation for the DCHP server software if users are
unsure.
