After you complete the static binding configuration, ask the device administrator to power off the

device and then power it on so the device gets the IP address and configuration parameters you

configured for it.

TFTP server configuration guidelines

Configure configuration files and host name files required for device automatic configuration on the TFTP

server, including the default configuration file device.cfg.

To use the host name file network.cfg, configure a configuration file for each device on the TFTP server,

name the file in the format host name.cfg, and configure a mapping entry in the format ip host host-name

ip-address for the host name file. For example, you can configure the following entries for the host name

file:

ip host host1 101.101.101.101

ip host host2 101.101.101.102

ip host client1 101.101.101.103

ip host client2 101.101.101.104

If a device resides in a network different than the TFTP server, configure the UDP helper function on the

gateway so the gateway changes the broadcast TFTP request from the device to a unicast packet and

forwards the unicast packet to the TFTP server. For more information about UDP helper, see Layer 3—IP

Services Configuration Guide.
