per ACL
Every time the users applies the profile-global
macro with the "macro global apply profile-

The command "boot host dhcp"
needs to stay in the configuration
if without autosave option.
The "boot host dhcp" command which initiates
the auto configuration feature should not be
removed from the running-config or startup-
config (which terminates auto configuration
retries) unless the customer has selected the
auto-save option which indicates that he wants
the new config saved and therefore does not
want to retry the configuration download
