M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches When Auto Install is successfully completed, the messages are in the buffered log, not on the console. You can execute a show running-config command to validate the contents of the configuration. You must be logged in as administrator. About saving the configuration An administrator must explicitly save the downloaded configuration in nonvolatile memory so that the configuration is available on the next reboot. If you are using the CLI, first make sure that the configuration is correct, and then enter the copy running-config startup-config command. If the host-specific configuration file is not found If the Auto Install process fails to download any configuration file, a message is logged. If a final configuration file is not downloaded, the entire process repeats every 10 minutes. How to terminate the Auto Install process You can terminate the Auto Install process at any time before downloading any configuration files. Terminate the Auto Install process if the switch is disconnected from the network or if no configuration files are configured on the TFTP server. Termination of the Auto Install process ends further periodic requests for a host-specific file. About managing the downloaded configuration files The configuration files downloaded through Auto Install are stored in nonvolatile memory. The files can be managed (viewed, displayed, deleted) along with files downloaded through the configuration scripting utility. A configuration file is not automatically deleted after it is downloaded. However, the configuration file does not take effect upon a reboot. If you save the configuration file, the saved configuration takes effect upon reboot. If you do not save the configuration file, the Auto Install process occurs again on a subsequent reboot. A repeated install might cause previously downloaded files to be overwritten. About restarting the Auto Install process If the configuration file is not found on the switch, the Auto Install process automatically starts a subsequent reboot. A restart of the install process can occur if the configuration was never saved on the switch or if you issued a command to erase the configuration file. During a particular session, you can restart the Auto Install process if you previously stopped it during the same login session. This action reinitiates the process for that login session only. We recommend that you restart the install process only when you are certain that the configuration is clear. If no configuration file is stored on the switch, reinitialization of the switch after you enter the erase startup-config command automatically activates the Auto Install process.
