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.
