Cisco Small Business SG200 Series 8-port Smart Switch 66
3
When the switch gets the default configuration file, the configuration is validated
for errors. If the validation is successful, then the switch copies the configuration to
the Startup Configuration file type and reboots. In this case, the default
configuration file name is not stored in the non-volatile memory.
NOTE If the switch is unable to get the valid configuration file, then the process described
above is repeated every 20 minutes until the switch gets a valid configuration file.
The administrator can create a Startup Configuration file by manually saving the
Running Configuration. The administrator can also disable Auto Configuration if
desired.
The following table summarizes the configuration files that can be downloaded,
and the order in which they are sought.
An operator can terminate Auto Configuration at any time prior to the downloading
of the file. This should be done when the switch is disconnected from the network,
or if the required configuration files have not been set up on TFTP servers.
When a configuration file is successfully downloaded and saved to the Startup
Configuration file type, the switch logs a message with severity level Alert prior to
rebooting.
