Configurable Features Commands
Table 6.1 shows the syntax of the configurable features commands. Table 3.11 on page 23
describes each feature.
Initiating a Configuration File Download
When used from a BootP or DHCP server, no user interaction is required to initiate a configuration
file download. Specify the configuration file as the “bootfile” option on the server. To use a DHCP
server, the ESP-4 MI hub must have an infinite lease on its assigned IP address.
When using the web interface, follow the instructions in Downloading a Configuration File on
page 30. When using the configuration utility, follow the instructions in Downloading a
Configuration File on page 41.
Completion Status
To verify the completion status of a configuration file download:
If the web interface or the configuration utility was used to initiate the download of the
configuration file, the completion status of the operation will be displayed.
-or-
If the configuration file download was initiated from BootP, DHCP or a third party SNMP agent,
access the web interface (see
Accessing the Web Interface on page 25), then select Configuration
File Download from the Main Menu. Any errors will be posted in the Status from last operation
field. If the last operation completed successfully, the field will be blank.
