NOTE:
After broadcasting a TFTP request, the device selects the TFTP server that responds first to obtain the configuration file. If the requested configuration file does not exist on the TFTP server, the request operation fails, and the device removes the temporary configuration and starts up with factory defaults.
Executing the configuration fileAfter obtaining the configuration file, the device removes the temporary configuration and executes the configuration file. If no configuration file is obtained, the device removes the temporary configuration and starts up with factory defaults.
NOTE:
The configuration file is deleted after executed. Save the configuration by using the save command. Otherwise, the device has to perform automatic configuration again after reboot. For more information about the save command, see the Fundamentals Command Reference.
