A network administrator is deploying three switches and wants to quickly and automatically install the latest
image and a common configuration file that configures basic settings such as VLAN creation and

configuration. The DHCP and TFTP servers in this example are reachable from the service port on the switch.

1. Log on to each switch and enable persistent Auto Install mode.
(QCT) #boot-system host autoinstall
2. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
(QCT) #copy running-config startup-config
3. Create a default config file for the switches named host.cfg. For information about creating
configuration files, see “Managing Images and Files”.
