Configuration File Specifications
The following table lists specifications applicable to Configuration Files.
Tutorial for Creating a Configuration File
This example creates a configuration file that includes CLI commands to configure the DHCP Relay appli-
cation on the switch. For this example, the forward delay value is set to 15 seconds, the maximum number
of hops is set to 3 and the IP address of the DHCP server is 128.251.16.52.
This tutorial shows you how to accomplish the following tasks:
1
Create a configuration text file containing CLI commands needed to configure DHCP Relay applica-
tion.
This example used MS Notepad to create a text file on a PC workstation. The text file named
dhcp_relay.txt
contains three CLI commands needed to configure the forward delay value to 15 seconds
and the maximum number of hops to 3. The IP address of the DHCP server is 128.251.16.52.
ip helper address 128.251.16.52
ip helper forward delay 15
ip helper maximum hops 3
2
Transfer the configuration file to the switch’s file system.
To transfer the configuration file to the switch, use an FTP transfer method. For more information about
transferring files onto the switch see
Chapter 1, “Managing System Files.”
3
Apply the configuration file to the switch by using the
configuration apply
command as shown here:
-> configuration apply dhcp_relay.txt
File configuration <dhcp_relay.txt>: completed with no errors
