Obtaining The Configuration File From The Tftp Server - HP 4800G Series Configuration Manual

You need to configure a client ID (when a device works as the DHCP client, it uses the client ID as its ID)
of the static binding when you configure manual address allocation. Therefore, you need to obtain the
client ID in this way: start the device that performs automatic configuration, enable the interface that
performs automatic configuration to obtain its IP address through DHCP, after the IP address is
successfully obtained, use the display dhcp server ip-in-use command to display address binding
information on the DHCP server, thus to obtain the client ID of the device.
