User's Manual 42. Automatic Update
42.2 Obtaining an IP Address using DHCP
You can configure the device to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server during bootup.

To enable DHCP for obtaining an IP address:
1. Open the Application Settings page ( Configuration tab > System menu >
Application Settings ).
Figure 42-2: Enabling DHCP - Application Settings Page
2. From the 'Enable DHCP" drop-down list, select Enable .
3. Click Submit .
Note: When using DHCP to acquire an IP address, the Multiple Interface table,
VLANs and other advanced configuration options are disabled.
42.3 Configuring Automatic Update
The procedure below describes how to configure the Automatic Update feature. It
describes a scenario where the devices download a "master" configuration file with
common settings from an HTTP server. This "master" file applies common configuration
and instructs each device to download a specific configuration file based on the device's
MAC address from an HTTP server.
Warning: Do not use the Web interface to configure the device when the Automatic
Update feature is implemented. If you do and save (burn) the new settings to
the device's flash memory, the IniFileURL parameter is automatically set to 0
and Automatic Updates is consequently disabled. To enable Automatic
Updates again, you would to need to re-load the ini file (using the Web
interface or BootP) with the correct IniFileURL settings. As a safeguard to an
unintended burn-to-flash when resetting the device, if the device is configured
for Automatic Updates, the 'Burn To FLASH' field under the Reset
Configuration group in the Web interface's Maintenance Actions page is
automatically set to
No by default.
Note: For a description of all the Automatic Update ini file parameters, see
Automatic Update Parameters on page 856 .

To configure the Automatic Update feature (ini file example):
1. Setup a Web server (e.g., http://www.corp.com) and place all the required
configuration files on this server.
2. For each device, preconfigure the following parameter (DHCP / DNS are assumed):
IniFileURL = 'http://www.corp.com/master_configuration.ini'
