VPort 56-2MP System Configuration

4-10

Auto Configuration

Since configuring a large number of devices one by one can be extremely time-consuming, DHCP Opt 66/67

provides a mechanism whereby configurations can be saved on a TFTP server. Once a new device is installed,

the configurations can be downloaded to this new device automatically. By doing this, the installer can save a

lot of time and effort in mass device installation. Follow the steps below to use the auto-configuration function

via Opt 66/67.

Step 1:

When the VPort 56-2MP’s auto-configuration function is enabled, it will ask for the IP address from DHCP server,

and the path of the TFTP server and configuration file.

Step 2:

Once the VPort 56-2MP completes the IP settings, it will acquire the configuration file from the TFTP server, and

check if this configuration file is correct or not.

NOTE

For the auto

-configuration function to work, the system should:

Have a DHCP Server that supports DHCP Opt 66/67 in the network switches and routers.

Have a TFTP server that supports the TFTP protocol.
