Prerequisites

The configurations of the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server are complete.

Procedure

Step 1 Five minutes after routers are powered on, check address allocation on the DHCP server to check

whether the routers are connected to the DHCP server.

NOTE

If the routers are connected to the DHCP server, log in to the routers using Telnet but do not configure the

routers.

Step 2 Five minutes after the routers obtain IP addresses, check the log about file downloading from

the FTP/TFTP server, or log in to the routers to check whether correct version files, patch files,

and configuration files have been downloaded and check the running status of Auto-Config by

using the display autoconfig-status command.

NOTE

Do not save a configuration file to a router to be configured immediately after the configuration file is

downloaded; otherwise, only a temporary configuration file is saved because the configurations have not

taken effect.

Step 3 After correct files are downloaded to the routers, the routers are restarted according to the setting

of Option 146. You can run the display autoconfig activating-config { delay | remanent-

time } command to check whether the configuration takes effect.

6.4 Configuration Examples

This section provides examples for configuring Auto-Config, including networking

requirements, configuration notes, and configuration roadmap.

6.4.1 Example for Configuring the Auto-Config Function

This section describes how to configure Auto-Config so that users can automatically load the

configuration file, version file, and patch file.

Networking Requirements

When a new router or a non-configured router accesses the network, the configuration file,

version file, and patch file are required to be configured. To reduce the maintenance cost, the

router uses the Auto-Config function to automatically load the configuration file, version file,

and patch file. The router then can be managed remotely.

As shown in Figure 6-3, the AR150/200 connects to the DHCP server through Eth0/0/8 and

supports the Auto-Config function. The AR150/200 can automatically load the configuration

file, version file, and patch file stored on the FTP server after the FTP server and DHCP server

are configured.
