files have not been configured on TFTP servers. Termination of the Auto Install process ends 
further periodic requests for a host-specific file.

Manage Downloaded Config Files

The configuration files downloaded through Auto Install are stored in the nonvolatile memory. 
The files can be managed (viewed, displayed, deleted) along with files downloaded through 
the configuration scripting utility.

A file is not automatically deleted after it is downloaded. However, the file does not take effect 
upon a reboot. If you opt to save the config file, the saved configuration takes effect upon 
reboot. If you do not opt to save the config file, the Auto Install process occurs again on a 
subsequent reboot. A repeated install might result in previously downloaded files being 
overwritten.

Restart the Auto Install Process

If the configuration file is not found on the switch, the Auto Install process is automatically 
started on a subsequent reboot. A restart of the install process can occur if configuration has 
not ever been saved on the switch, or if the administrator has issued a command to erase the 
configuration file.

During a particular session, the Auto Install process can be restarted if the administrator has 
previously stopped the Auto Install process, and then chooses to restart it. This action 
reinitiates the process for this login session only. NETGEAR recommends that you restart the 
install process only when you are certain that configuration is clear.

If there is no configuration file stored on the switch, reinitialization of the switch after a clear 
config automatically activates the Auto Install process.
