Configuring IP parameters – Layer 3 Switches

Although the DHCP server may provide multiple addresses, only one IP address is installed at a
time.

This feature is not supported together with DHCP snooping.

The following configuration rules apply to flash image update:

To enable flash image update (ip dhcp-client auto-update enable command), also enable
auto-configuration (ip dhcp-client enable command).

The image filename to be updated must have the extension .bin.

The DHCP option 067 bootfile name will be used for image update if it has the extension .bin.

The DHCP option 067 bootfile name will be used for configuration download if it does not have
the extension .bin.

If the DHCP option 067 bootfile name is not configured or does not have the extension .bin,
then the auto-update image will not occur.
