Configuring BIMS server information for the client
Perform this task to provide the Branch Intelligent Management System (BIMS) server IP address, port
number, and shared key for the clients. The DHCP clients contact the BIMS server to get configuration files
and perform software update and backup.
To configure the BIMS server IP address, port number, and shared key in the DHCP address pool:

You can specify up to eight gateways in a
DHCP address pool.
Configuring the TFTP server and bootfile name for the client
For the DHCP server to support client auto-configuration, specify the IP address or name of a TFTP server
and the bootfile name in the DHCP address pool. You do not need to perform any configuration on the
DHCP client.
The DHCP client obtains these parameters from the DHCP server, and uses them to contact the TFTP
server to request the configuration file used for system initialization.
1. When a router starts up without loading any configuration file, the system sets an active interface
(such as the interface of the default VLAN or a Layer 3 Ethernet interface) as the DHCP client to
request from the DHCP server for parameters, such as an IP address and name of a TFTP server,
and the bootfile name.
2. After receiving related parameters, the DHCP client sends a TFTP request to obtain the
configuration file from the specified TFTP server for system initialization. If the client cannot get
such parameters, it performs system initialization without loading any configuration file.
