manually activate the Auto Configuration process and download a

configuration script from a remote system to the switch, validate the script,

and activate it.

The Auto Configuration feature begins automatically when the switch is

booted and no startup-config file is found or if the system boots and finds the

boot host dhcp command in the startup-config file.
