When using AutoInstall over Frame Relay, you are put into setup
mode while the AutoInstall process is running. If the configuration file
is successfully installed, the setup process is terminated. If you expect
the AutoInstall process to be successful, either do not respond to the
setup prompts or respond to the prompts as:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes]: no
Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: no
If you do not expect the AutoInstall process to be successful, create
configuration file by responding to the se tup prompts. The AutoInstall
process is terminated transparently.
You will see this display as the AutoInstall operation is in progress:
Please Wait. AutoInstall being att empt ed!!!!! !!!! !!!!
If the host configuration file contains only the minimal information,
you must connect to existing using Telnet. From there, connect via
Telnet to newrouter. Then, run the setup command to configure ne
wrouter. Refer to Use Setup for Configu ration Changes, for specific
information about the setup command.
If the host configuration file is complete, newrouter shoul d be fully op-
erational. You can enter the enable command (with the system ad-
ministrator password) at the system prompt on newrouter. Then, enter
the copy running-config startup-config command to
save the information in the rec ently obtained configuration file into
nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) or to the location spec-
ified by the CONFIG_FILE environme nt v ar i able. If it must reload,
newrouter simply loads its configuration file from NVRAM.
If the TFTP request fails, or if newrouter still has not obtained the IP
addresses of all its interfaces, and if those addresses are not contained
in the host configuration file, then newrouter enters setup mode auto-
matically. Setup mode prompts you for manual configuration of the
Cisco IOS software at the console. The new router continues to issue
broadcasts to attempt to learn i ts host name and obtain any unresolved
interface addresses. The broadcast frequency will dwindle to every 10
minutes after several attempts. Refer to Use Setup for Configuration
Change , for specific information about th setup command.
