Auto-Install Configuration feature on the switch. For more information about
these commands, see the PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024/M8024-k CLI

Managing Auto Configuration
Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to
manually activate the Auto Configuration process and download a
configuration script from a remote system to the switch, validate the script,
and activate it.
NOTE: The Auto Configuration feature begins automatically when the switch is
booted and no startup-config file is found or if the system boots and finds the
boot host dhcp command in the startup-config file.
