Auto Install Commands
This section describes the Auto Install Commands. Auto Install is a software feature which
provides for the configuration of a switch automatically when the device is initialized and no
configuration file is found on the switch. The Auto Install process requires DHCP to be
enabled by default in order for it to be completed. The downloaded config file is not
automatically saved to startup-config. An administrator must explicitly issue a save request in
order to save the configuration. The Auto Install process depends upon the configuration of
other devices in the network, including a DHCP or BOOTP server, a TFTP server and, if
necessary, a DNS server.
There are three steps to Auto Install:
1. Configuration or assignment of an IP address for the device.
2. Assignment of a
TFTP server.
3. Obtain a configuration file for the device from the
TFTP server.
