Hello people from the list. In one of the practice labs that I have, there is an "IOS" question requesting to set up DHCP on a router to not only provide an ip address to a future new router (AutoConfig), but also to point this new router to a TFTP Server that holds a configuration file called "R9-config.
After a while trying to figure out the answer without success, I checked the book looking for the correct config. According to the book, the answer is: ip dhcp excluded-address 10.50.50.1 10.50.50.5 ! ip dhcp pool 1 network 10.50.50.0 255.255.255.248 bootfile R9-config option 150 ip 172.16.0.59 default-router 10.50.50.1 Now, according to the following link: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123cgcr/ipras_r/ip1_a1g.htm#wp1080218 , the "bootfile" command is used to specify the name of the default boot image for a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client. As far as I am concern, the "boot image" and "configuration file" are two different things. The question on my book clearly states that the new router will load a configuration file from the TFTP NOT a Boot Image (IOS). Could anybody provide any feedback about this? In my opinion, the "bootfile" command is used to load an IOS image, not a configuration file. Thanks in advance! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
