Obtaining the configuration file
Figure 41 Obtaining the configuration file
A device obtains its configuration file by using the following workflow:
•
If the DHCP response contains the configuration file name, the device requests the specified
configuration file from the TFTP server.
•
If not, the device tries to get its host name from the host name file obtained from the TFTP
server. If it fails, the device resolves its IP address to the host name through DNS server. Once
the device gets its host name, it requests the configuration file with the same name from the
TFTP server.
