NETGEAR M4350-24F4V 24-Port 10G SFP+ Managed AV Network Switch - Manual (Page 877)

Configure the auto install process
The auto install process requires that DHCP is enabled by default on the switch. To save
the downloaded configuration to the startup configuration, you must explicitly save the
file as such. The auto Install process depends on the configuration of other devices in
the network, including a DHCP or BOOTP server, a TFTP server and, if necessary, a DNS
server.
The auto install process occurs in three phases:
1. Configuration or assignment of an IP address to the switch: For more information,
see IPv4 management interfaces and VLANs on page 75 or IPv6 management
interfaces and VLANs on page 81.
2. Assignment of a TFTP server: If the switch functions as a DHCP client (which it does
by default), the DHCP server can automatically provide the TFTP server to the switch,
for example, if the DHCP server is configured with option 125 (see Option 125 DHCP
server requirements for obtaining an configuration file through auto install on page
878).
3. Downloading a configuration file for the switch from the TFTP server: See the
following procedure.
To configure the auto install process:
a. Launch a web browser.
b. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
