M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches The commands in this chapter are in one of four functional groups: • Show commands. Display switch settings, statistics, and other information. • Configuration commands. Configure features and options of the switch. For every configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration setting. • Copy commands. Transfer or save configuration and informational files to and from the switch. • Clear commands. Clear some or all of the settings to factory defaults. AutoInstall Commands The AutoInstall feature enables the automatic update of the image and configuration of the switch. This feature enables touchless or low-touch provisioning to simplify switch configuration and imaging. AutoInstall includes the following support: • Downloading an image from TFTP server using DHCP option 125. The image update can result in a downgrade or upgrade of the firmware on the switch. • Automatically downloading a configuration file from a TFTP server when the switch is booted with no saved configuration file. • Automatically downloading an image from a TFTP server in the following situations: - When the switch is booted with no saved configuration found. - When the switch is booted with a saved configuration that has AutoInstall enabled. When the switch boots and no configuration file is found, it attempts to obtain an IP address from a network DHCP server. The response from the DHCP server includes the IP address of the TFTP server where the image and configuration flies are located. After acquiring an IP address and the additional relevant information from the DHCP server, the switch downloads the image file or configuration file from the TFTP server. A downloaded image is automatically installed. A downloaded configuration file is saved to non-volatile memory. Note: AutoInstall from a TFTP server can run on any IP interface, including the network port, service port, and in-band routing interfaces (if supported). To support AutoInstall, the DHCP client is enabled operationally on the service port, if it exists, or the network port, if there is no service port. Utility Commands 184 CLI Command Reference Manual
