DHCP Auto Configuration

If you need to automatically update the switch’s configuration files via a
remote server, the DHCP Auto Configuration feature is available for this
purpose via the DHCP server.

To configure this feature on the switch, perform the following procedure:

Note
You must configure your DHCP server to include the configuration
file name (option 67) and the server address (option 54). Please
note that switch is expecting the TFTP server to reside on the same
IP address of the DHCP server.

1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System

folder.
The System folder expands.

2. From the System folder, select System.

The DHCP Auto Configuration Settings Page is shown in Figure 20.
