1.3 Deploying Unconfigured Switches (Same Network
Segment)
This section describes how to deploy S5700s without configuration file.
1.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Applicable Environment
As shown in Figure 1-2, unconfigured switches are reachable from a DHCP server. A PC is
connected to the DHCP server and functions as an FTP or a TFTP server to store configuration
files. After the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server are configured, every switch obtains a
configuration file through Auto-Config.
The DHCP server, FTP/TFTP server, and switches are deployed on the same network segment.

unconfigured switch are on the same network segment

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before deploying unconfigured switches, complete the following tasks:
l Ensuring that there are routes from the DHCP server and FTP/TFTP server to the switches
l Ensuring that there is no *.cfg or *.zip file except the *web.zip and web.zip files in the
flash memory of each switch
l Ensuring that the switches are not added to any HGMP cluster
Data Preparation
To deploy unconfigured switches, you need the following data.
