Appendix E Text File Based Auto Configuration

ZyXEL NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

"

A DHCP response can use options 66 and 67 to assign a TFTP server IP address and a 
filename. If the AP is configured as a DHCP client, these settings can be used to perform auto 
configuration.   

If this feature is enabled and the DHCP response provides a TFTP server IP address and a 
filename, the AP will try to download the file from the specified TFTP server. The AP then 
uses the file to configure wireless LAN settings.

"

Use the following command to manually configure a TFTP server IP address and a file name 
for the AP to use for auto provisioning whenever the AP starts up. See 

 for how to access the Command Interpreter (CI). 

You can configure and trigger the auto configuration remotely via SNMP.
Use the following procedure to have the AP download the configuration file.
