Triggering the Auto-Update/Configuration Process When the Auto-Update/Configuration feature is enabled (in the Auto Update of Configuration/Image File page), the device automatically attempts to download a new image or configuration file (under certain circumstances) using one of the following processes: • The Auto-Update process is triggered from the USB drive if a USB key in the USB drive is found. • The Auto-Configuration process is triggered from the USB drive after the Auto-Update process completed and the device was rebooted (if a new image file was loaded), and if the following conditions are fulfilled: - There is a USB key in the USB drive. - Force Configuration Download at Next Startup has been enabled by the boot host dhcp command, or the Startup Configuration file is empty. See "Performing Auto-Update from a USB Drive" on page 336. • The Auto-Update from a TFTP server is triggered if the following conditions are fulfilled: - The conditions for a USB Auto-Update are not fulfilled. - An IP address of a TFTP server is received from a DHCP server. - A file name is received from DHCP server. • The Auto-Configuration from a TFTP server is triggered if the following conditions are fulfilled: - The conditions for USB Auto-Configuration are not fulfilled. - The switch as DHCP client received a configuration file name or a TFTP URL. - Force Configuration Download at Next Startup enabled by the boot host dhcp command, or, the Startup Configuration file is empty. See "Preparations for Using Auto Configuration from a TFTP Server" on page 338.
