autoinstallation
|
Automatic configuration of a device over the network
from a preexisting configuration file that you create and store on
a configuration server—typically a Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) server. Autoinstallation takes place on a device that is powered
on without a valid configuration (boot) file or is configured specifically
for autoinstallation. Autoinstallation is useful for deploying multiple devices
in a network.
|
|
default configuration
|
Configuration that takes place on a device unable
to locate a configuration (boot) file. You can set up two default
configuration files for autoinstallation on the device: network.conf to specify IP address-to-hostname mappings for devices on the network,
or router.conf to provide just enough configuration for your
subsequent Telnet access.
|
|
hostname.conf
|
Host-specific configuration file for autoinstallation on a device that
contains all the configuration information necessary for the device.
In the filename, hostname is replaced
with the hostname you are assigning to the device.
|
|
host-specific configuration
|
Configuration that takes place on a device for
which you have created a host-specific configuration file for autoinstallation
called hostname.conf. The hostname.conf file contains all the information necessary
to configure the device. For the device to use hostname.conf, it must be able to determine its own hostname from the
network.
|
|
network.conf
|
Default configuration file for autoinstallation, in which you
specify IP addresses and associated hostnames for devices
on the network.
|
|
router.conf
|
Default configuration file for autoinstallation with a minimum
configuration sufficient for you to telnet to the device and
configure it manually.
