Example 88 Configuration file in TFTP server with DHCP/Bootp specified as the IP addressing source
HP Switch(config)# show run
Running configuration:

If you apply this configuration file to Figure 24, switches 1 - 3 will still retain their manually assigned
IP addressing. However, switch 4 will be configured with the IP addressing included in the file.
