Netgear M4100-50G (GSM7248v2h2) - 46‐port GE + 4 GE Combo L2 Managed Switch Guía Del Software

This section describes the Auto Install Commands. Auto Install is a software feature which 
provides for the configuration of a switch automatically when the device is initialized and no 
configuration file is found on the switch. The Auto Install process requires DHCP to be 
enabled by default in order for it to be completed. The downloaded config file is not 
automatically saved to the startup-config. An administrator must explicitly issue a save 
request in order to save the configuration. The Auto Install process depends upon the 
configuration of other devices in the network, including a DHCP or BOOTP server, a TFTP 
server and, if necessary, a DNS server.

There are three steps to Auto Install:

Configuration or assignment of an IP address for the device.

Assignment of a TFTP server.

Obtain a configuration file for the device from the TFTP server.

This command displays the status of the Auto Config process.
