DES-1228/ME:4#
enable autoconfig
Purpose
Used to activate the auto configuration function for the Switch. This will load a previously
saved configuration file for current use.
Syntax
enable autoconfig
Description
When autoconfig is enabled on the Switch, the DHCP reply will contain a configuration file
and path name. It will then request the file from the TFTP server specified in the reply.
When autoconfig is enabled, the ipif settings will automatically become DHCP client.
Parameters
None.
Restrictions
When autoconfig is enabled, the Switch becomes a DHCP client automatically (same as:
config ipif System dhcp). The DHCP server must have the TFTP server IP address and
configuration file name, and be configured to deliver this information in the data field of the
DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be running and have the requested
configuration file in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch.
Consult the DHCP server and TFTP server software instructions for information on
loading a boot file or configuration file.
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable auto configuration on the Switch:
