3. After getting automatic configuration parameters, the device tries to download a configuration file
from a TFTP server or an HTTP server. For more information, see "Configuration file acquisition
proc
ess."
4. If the device gets a configuration file, it deletes its temporary settings to restore the factory defaults
and executes the configuration file. If the device gets no configuration file or fails to execute the
configuration file, the device deletes its temporary settings and stays quiet for 30 seconds. Then,
the device tries again for automatic configuration by selecting another qualified interface and
repeating Step 2 to Step 4. To stop the automatic configuration process, press Ctrl+D at the CLI of
the device.
IMPORTANT:
• To ensure quick and successful automatic confi
uration of a device, connect only the interface used fo
automatic configuration to the network.
• The device does not save the obtained configuration file. To use the configuration after a reboot, save the
running configuration by using the save command. Otherwise, the device has to perform automatic
configuration again after a reboot. For more information about the save command, see

Command Reference
