DES-3026:4#
enable autoconfig
Purpose Used to activate the autoconfiguration function for the Switch. This will load a
previously saved configuration file for current use.
Syntax
enable autoconfig
Description When autoconfig is enabled on the Switch, the DHCP reply will contain a
configuration file and path name. It will then request the file from the TFTP
server specified in the reply. When autoconfig is enabled, the ipif settings will
automatically become DHCP client.
Parameters None.
Restrictions When autoconfig is enabled, the Switch becomes a DHCP client automatically
(same as: config ipif System dhcp). The DHCP server must have the TFTP
server IP address and configuration file name, and be configured to deliver
this information in the data field of the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server
must be running and have the requested configuration file in its base directory
when the request is received from the Switch. Consult the DHCP server and
TFTP server software instructions for information on loading a configuration
file.
If the Switch is unable to complete the autoconfiguration process the
previously saved local configuration file present in Switch memory will be
loaded. Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
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 you are unsure.
