Hi there,

I'm trying to configure several H3C S3100 switches quickly via a TFTP server. I am using TFTPd32 on Windows 7.

Here is the output from tftpd:

Rcvd DHCP Discover Msg for IP 0.0.0.0, Mac 3C:E5:A6:83:1E:DF [16/11 12:34:06.914]

default.cfg is the file I have set to be the boot configuration fille, so this seems good. However, internally nothing is going on in the switch. It's not applying the configuration, and I can't even detect the folder on the switch when I login via serial. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's what I see in the switch:

Press Ctrl-B to enter Boot Menu... 0 Auto-booting... Decompress Image..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................OK! Starting at 0x80100000... There is no configuration file on the device, and auto-configuration starts now... Startup configuration file does not exist. User interface aux0 is available. Press ENTER to get started. Congratulation! Auto-Configuration success.
