48 CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM SERVICE COMMANDS
You can enable the switch to use the MSS DHCP client to obtain this
information from a DHCP server in the local network where the switch
will be deployed. Alternatively, you can statically configure the
information.
The IP address and DNS information are configured independently. You
can configure the combination of settings that work with the network
resources available at the deployment site. The following examples show
some of the combinations you can configure.
Examples — The following commands stage a WX-1200 switch to use
the auto-config option. The network where the switch is installed has a
DHCP server, so the switch is configured to use the MSS DHCP client to
obtain an IP address, default gateway address, DNS domain name, and
DNS server IP addresses.

Enable the auto-config option:
