To configure DHCP Auto Configuration:

STEP 1 Click Administration > File Management > DHCP Auto Configuration in the navigation window.

STEP 2 Enter the parameters:

Auto Configuration Via DHCP—Select Enable to enable this feature on the switch.

Default Network Config Mode—Select Enable to have the switch download a default configuration file named fp-net.cfgwhen no host- specific file is found on the switch. See Default Network Configuration File for details.

Alternate TFTP Server—Specify the IP address of a TFTP server to serve as a backup. An alternate TFTP server is used when unicast requests to the TFTP server specified in option 66 fails three times. (The length of the string cannot exceed 96 characters.)

Alternate Configuration File—Specify an alternate configuration file name to serve as a backup. If no startup configuration file identified in DHCP option 67, or if the specified file cannot be found on the TFTP server, Auto Configuration looks for the alternate file name. (The length of the string cannot exceed 32 characters.)

Last Auto Configuration File Name—The configuration file name used the last time the Auto Configuration process executed. If a different file name is identified through DHCP, the file download process will begin.

Current Status—The status of the Auto Configuration process. Possible values are AutoInstall Complete or In Progress.

STEP 3 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
