Netgear M4300-24X24F (XSM4348S) - Stackable Managed Switch with 48x10G including 24x10GBASE-T and 24xSFP+ Layer 3 Guia Do Programa

If the switch cannot find the specified bootfile or the bootfile name from the DHCP server, the 
switch attempts to download the default network configuration file (fp-net.cfg). The switch 
issues TFTP requests for a network configuration file in the same manner that it attempts to 
download a host-specific configuration file.

The default network configuration file must contain 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 following example is a sample fp-net.cfg file:

config

...

ip host switch_to_setup 192.168.1.10

ip host another_switch 192.168.1.11

... <other hostname definitions>

exit

When a host name is determined, the switch issues a TFTP request for a file named 
hostname.cfg

, in which hostname is the first eight characters of the switch’s host name.

If the switch cannot map its IP address to a host name, Auto Install sends TFTP requests for 
the default configuration file host.cfg.

The following table summarizes the configuration files that can be downloaded, and the order 
in which they are sought.
