What does auto provision mean?
Auto Provision is a service that allows a network switch to automatically retrieve and apply configuration files from a remote server. This simplifies the configuration process by eliminating the need for manual setup. The network switch connects to a specified TFTP, FTP, or HTTP server, downloads the configuration files, and applies them directly to the switch. This ensures consistent configuration across multiple devices. Auto Provision does not automatically upgrade firmware but is used for efficiently applying configuration settings.
