Use the Auto Install Configuration
23
M4100 Series Switches
The web management interface menu displays.
7. Select Maintenance > Save Config >Auto Install Configuration.
8. From the AutoInstall Mode menu, select Start.
9. From the AutoSave Mode menu, select Enabled.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved and the Auto Install process starts.
Monitor and Complete the Auto Install Process
When the switch boots in the absence of a saved configuration file, a message displays on
the console stating that the Auto Install procedure is beginning. A message displays when
Auto Install is complete. The message also indicates that the configuration must be saved to
prevent Auto Install from being performed on the next reboot.
When Auto Install is successfully completed, the messages are in the buffered log, not on the
console. You can execute a show running-config command to validate the contents of
the configuration. You must be logged in as administrator.
About Saving the Configuration
An administrator must explicitly save the downloaded configuration in nonvolatile memory so
that the configuration is available on the next reboot. If you are using the CLI, first make sure
that the configuration is correct, then enter the copy running-config startup-config
command.
If the Host-Specific Configuration File Is Not Found
If the Auto Install process fails to download any configuration file, a message is logged. If a
final configuration file is not downloaded, the entire process repeats every 10 minutes.
Terminate the Auto Install Process
You can terminate the Auto Install process at any time before downloading any configuration
files. Terminate the Auto Install process if the switch is disconnected from the network or if no
configuration files are configured on the TFTP server. Termination of the Auto Install process
ends further periodic requests for a host-specific file.
