Default Network Configuration File
If the specified bootfile or the bootfile name from the DHCP server cannot be found, the
switch tries to download the default network configuration file (fp-net.cfg). The switch issues
TFTP requests for a network configuration file in the same manner as it attempts to download
a host-specific configuration file.

The default network configuration file should have IP address to host-name mappings using
the command ip host <hostname> <address>. If the default network configuration file does
not contain the switch IP address, the switch uses DNS to attempt to resolve its host name.
the command ip host <hostname> <address>. If the default network configuration file does

A sample fp-net.cfg file follows:
config
...
ip host switch_to_setup 192.168.1.10
ip host another_switch 192.168.1.11
... <other hostname definitions>
exit
Once a host name has been determined, the switch then issues a TFTP request for a file
named <hostname>.cfg file, where <hostname> is the first eight characters of the switch’s
host name.

If the switch is unable to map its IP address to a host name, Auto Install sends TFTP requests
for the default configuration file host.cfg.
