Auto Image and Configuration Update 383
Table 14-2 displays the determining factors for issuing unicast or broadcast
TFTP requests.
Monitoring and Completing the DHCP Auto Configuration Process
When the switch boots and triggers an Auto Configuration, a message
displays on the console screen to indicate that the process is starting. After
the process completes, the Auto Configuration process writes a log message.
When Auto Configuration has successfully completed, you can execute a
show running-config command to validate the contents of configuration.
Saving a Configuration
The Auto Configuration feature includes an AutoSave feature that allows the
downloaded configuration to be automatically saved; however, AutoSave is
disabled by default. If AutoSave has not been enabled, you must explicitly
save the downloaded configuration in non-volatile memory. This makes the
configuration available for the next reboot. In the CLI, this is performed by
issuing a write command or copy running-config startup-config command
and should be done after validating the contents of saved configuration.
