Changing IP Information Chapter 6 Configuring the System TFTP Server Configuration (on UNIX) The TFTP server base directory is set to /tftpserver/work/. This directory contains the network-confg file used in the two-file read method. This file contains the host name to be assigned to the switch based on its IP address. The base directory also contains a configuration file for each switch (switch1-confg, switch2-confg, and so forth) as shown in this display: prompt> cd /tftpserver/work/ prompt> ls network-confg switch1-confg switch2-confg switch3-confg switch4-confg prompt> cat network-confg ip host switch1 10.0.0.21 ip host switch2 10.0.0.22 ip host switch3 10.0.0.23 ip host switch4 10.0.0.24 DHCP Client Configuration No configuration file is present on Switch 1 through Switch 4. Configuration Explanation In Figure 6-3, Switch 1 reads its configuration file as follows: • It obtains its IP address 10.0.0.21 from the DHCP server. • If no configuration filename is given in the DHCP server reply, Switch 1 reads the network-confg file from the base directory of the TFTP server. • It adds the contents of the network-confg file to its host table. • It reads its host table by indexing its IP address 10.0.0.21 to its host name (switch1). • It reads the configuration file that corresponds to its host name; for example, it reads switch1-confg from the TFTP server. Switches 2 through 4 retrieve their configuration files and IP addresses in the same way. 6-10 Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide 78-6511-08
