Automatically installs firmware image and startup configuration parameters on to the selected device.
Extreme Networks controllers and access points support an AutoInstall feature that allows administrators to distribute configuration files and firmware images from a FTP or TFTP server based on the DHCP options received from a DHCP server. AutoInstall ensures the correct firmware or configuration is applied to controllers or access points during pre-staging. Autoinstall also distributes firmware images to access points in standalone or virtual controller based deployments.
Autoinstall-enabled controllers and access points check the firmware image version each time they boot to determine if a newer version of firmware resides on the FTP / TFTP server. In case of a firmware version mismatch, the controller or access point downloads and installs the new firmware image and reboots. If the firmware versions are the same, the controller or access point reboots without and upgrade.
Default profiles of all WiNG 5 devices have the AutoInstall feature enabled by default. However it is disabled in all user-defined profiles. You can use this command to enable/disable autoinstall on the profile. AutoInstall can also be enabled/disabled on device. Access points and controllers only attempt AutoInstall if it is explicitly in the profile context or specifically enabled in the device context.

| configuration | Autoinstalls startup configuration. Setup parameters are automatically configured on devices using this profile. This option is disabled by default. |
| firmware | Autoinstalls firmware image. Firmware images are automatically installed on devices using this profile. This option is disabled by default. |
| start-interval <WORD> | Configures the
interval between system boot and start of autoinstall process (this is the
time, from system boot, after which autoinstall should start)
