2.4.13.1 Autoprovisioning

On boot, the device will look for an autoprovisioning server configured on the
or specified as a DHCP option. When it finds a server, it will try to download the following (in order of
preference):
1. The file configured on the autoprovisioning page.
2. A file named according to it's mac address (for example: 0020f7350058.xml).
3. The file 000000cd.xml
The file can be hosted using a standard web server (like apache, IIS, or nginx), and the device can
download over SSL. The file server can be an ipv4 address in dotted decimal notation or a fully
qualified domain name.
By default, the device will get its autoprovisioning server from the DHCP options. See
2.4.13.2, "Sample dhcpd.conf"
server addresses. If multiple options are set, the device will attempt to download autoprovisioning
files from every server.
The DHCP option determines the protocol used to download the autoprovisioning file. The device
looks for DHCP options in the following order:
1. Option 43 - a FQDN or an IP address to an http server
2. Option 72 - an IP address to an http server
3. Option 150 - an IP address to a tftp server
4. Option 66 - an IP address to a tftp server or if the entry starts with 'http', a FQDN to a http server.
