also need to resolve the TFTP server domain name to the TFTP server IP address. For more
information about the DNS server, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.
If the DHCP server, the HTTP server, the TFTP server, the DNS server, and the device are not in the same
network segment, configure the DHCP relay agent on the gateway, and configure routing protocols to
make sure the servers have routes to the device and vice versa.

DHCP server configuration guidelines

To make a device request a configuration file from an HTTP server, specify the HTTP URL of the
•
configuration file. To make a device request a configuration file from a TFTP server, specify the path
of the file in the working directory and the file name.
If the devices on a network segment share the same configuration file, configure the dynamic
•
address allocation mechanism on the connected interface of the DHCP server.
If the devices on a network segment share most of their configurations, configure the dynamic
•
address allocation mechanism on the connected interface of the DHCP server. You can put the
configurations that the devices share to the configuration file, and provide a method for the device
administrators to change the configurations after their devices start up. For example, you can use a
configuration file to enable the Telnet service and create a local user, so administrators can Telnet
to their devices to perform specific configurations after their devices start up.
If the devices on a network segment require different configurations, configure the static address
•
allocation mechanism on the connected interface of the DHCP server. This method allows you to
have a separate configuration file for each device.
Before you configure a static binding for a device, you must obtain the client ID of the device. To
do so, you can ask the device administrator for the client ID or use the following procedure to view
the client ID:
a. Configure dynamic address allocation on the DHCP server's interface that is connected to the
client.
b. Ask the device administrator to power on the device.
c. Execute the display dhcp server ip-in-use command on the DHCP server to view the client ID of
the device after the device starts up.
After you complete the static binding configuration, ask the device administrator to power off the
device and then power it on so the device obtains the IP address and configuration parameters
you configured for it.

HTTP server configuration guidelines

Create configuration files required for device automatic configuration on the HTTP server. For easy file
name identification, use configuration file names that do not contain spaces.

TFTP server configuration guidelines

Create configuration files and host name files required for device automatic configuration on the TFTP
server, including the default configuration file device.cfg. For easy file name identification, use
configuration file names that do not contain spaces.
