The following configuration rules apply to flash image update:
• To enable flash image update (ip dhcp-client auto-update enable command), also enable
auto-configuration (ip dhcp-client enable command).
• The image filename to be updated must have the extension .bin.
• The DHCP option 067 bootfile name will be used for image update if it has the extension .bin.
• The DHCP option 067 bootfile name will be used for configuration download if it does not have
the extension .bin.
• If the DHCP option 067 bootfile name is not configured or does not have the extension .bin,
then the auto-update image will not occur.
