All,
I have a Cisco IE-3000-8TC running 15.0(2) EY1 IES-IPSERVICESK9-M. I am trying to configure the switch to auto configuration (download only the configuration file and not the software image) via DHCP from a combination DHCP/TFTP server. When I configure the switch with the commands (on initial configuration):
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#boot host dhcp
Switch(config)#boot host retry timeout 300
Switch(config)#end
Switch#copy running-config startup-config
Switch#show boot
It shows that the config via DHCP is enabled, but the switch never sends a DHCP discovery broadcast. The terminal screen shows status messages show: "%BOOT_HOST_DHCP-6-INGO: configuration download via DHCP started". However, when I wireshark the connection. I see no DHCP traffic at all. Then the switch reports a timeout after the 300 seconds expires.
Just to be thorough, I tested setting interface FastEthernet1/2 (which is connected to my DHCP/TFTP server) to ip address dhcp and it will send out a DHCP request to which the DHCP server responds correctly assigning the IP address, giving the tftp server address and the boot file name. So, the problem is definitely with my configuration of the IE-3000.
Any suggestions?
I have attached the startup-config file from the IE-3000.
