Moxa VPort 26A-1MP
System Configuration
4-10
Auto Configuration
In a mass installation, it is time consuming to configure each of the many devices one by one. Therefore, DHCP
Opt 66/67 provides a mechanism whereby configurations can be saved on a TFTP server. Once a new device is
installed, the configurations can be downloaded to this new device automatically. By doing this, the installer
can save a lot of time and efforts in mass device installation. Follow the steps below to use the
auto-configuration function via Opt 66/67.
Step 1:
When VPort 26A-1MP enables the auto-configuration function, it will ask for the IP address from DHCP server,
and the path of the TFTP server and configuration file.
Step 2:
Once VPort 26A-1MP completes the IP settings, it will acquire the configuration file from the TFTP server, and
check if this configuration file is right or not.
NOTE
For auto-configuration to work properly, the system should:
1.
Have a DHCP Server that supports DHCP Opt 66/67 in the network switches and routers.
2.
Have a TFTP server that supports the TFTP protocol
