[c-nsp] IOS Initial setup function & DHCP

[Justin Shore]

Can any Cisco people tell me if when a router or switch (router in this 
case) is at the initial setup prompt after the very first power-on if 
the router enables DHCP on it's interfaces?  I believe I had a brand-new 
7201 running a 12.4T attempt a DHCP DISCOVER while it was at the initial 
setup yes/no prompt.  All interfaces were up by default until I said 
'no' to the prompt at which time all interfaces were shutdown.  Can 
anyone tell me if an IOS device will attempt to use DHCP during the 
'setup' process?

The reason I ask would take too long for me to explain tonight.  If I'm 
right though it kicked a configuration problem in just the right spot to 
set off a major multi-hour outage for us.

Thanks
  Justin
