Deploying and configuring servers for server-based
automatic configuration
To implement automatic configuration, you do not need to perform any configuration on the device.
However, you must deploy the following servers and configure the servers to cooperate with the device:
• DHCP server—Assigns the device a set of parameters for automatic configuration, which might
include the following:
{ A temporary IP address.
{ A configuration file name.
{ A TFTP server domain name.
{ A TFTP server IP address.
{ A DNS server IP address.
For more information about the DHCP server, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.
• TFTP server—Stores files required for device automatic configuration, including the configuration
files and host name files. For more information about the TFTP server, see "Configuring TFTP."
