Preparing the interface used for automatic configuration
Starting and completing automatic configuration
Configuring the file server
For devices to obtain configuration information from a TFTP server, start TFTP service on the file
server.
For devices to obtain configuration information from an HTTP server, start HTTP service on the file
server.
Preparing the files for automatic configuration
The device can use a script file or configuration file for automatic configuration.
•
For devices to use configuration files for automatic configuration, you must create and save the
configuration files to the file server as described in "
." If you do not configure
the DHCP server to assign configuration file names, you must also create a host name file on
the TFTP server.
•
For devices to use script files for automatic configuration, you must create and save the script
files to the file server as described in "
Host name file
The host name file contains host name-IP address mappings and must be named
network.cfg
.
All mapping entries in the host name file must use the
ip host
host-name ip-address
format. Each
mapping entry must reside on a separate line. For example:
ip host host1 101.101.101.101
ip host host2 101.101.101.102
ip host client1 101.101.101.103
ip host client2 101.101.101.104
Configuration files
To prepare configuration files:
•
For devices that require different configurations, perform the following tasks:
Determine the name for each device's configuration file.
The configuration file names must use the extension .cfg. For simple file name identification,
use configuration file names that do not contain spaces.
Use the file names to save the configuration files for the devices to the file server.
•
For devices that share all or some configurations, save the common configurations to a .cfg file
on the file server.
•
If a TFTP file server is used, you can save a default configuration file named
device.cfg
on the
server. This file contains only common configurations that devices use to start up. This file is
assigned to a device only when the device does not have other configuration files to use.
During the automatic configuration process, a device first tries to obtain a configuration file dedicated
for it. If no dedicated configuration file is found, the device tries to obtain the common configuration
