immediately by default. Then run the display current-configuration command to check
whether the configurations take effect.
NOTE
If you access the switch when it is busy delivering configurations in the Auto-Config process, the switch
may not respond in real time.
After the configurations take effect, modify the configuration of the downstream interface on the DHCP
server as required.

1.4 Deploying Unconfigured Switches (Different Network
Segments)
This section describes how to deploy unconfigured S5700s.
1.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Applicable Environment
As shown in Figure 1-3, unconfigured switches are reachable from a DHCP relay and 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 different network segments.
