2.1.2 Pre-provisioning when Setting Static IP Addresses

To perform pre-provisioning, the unit needs to acquire the TFTP server address from option 66 on a DHCP
server. Therefore, pre-provisioning cannot be performed if you use static IP addressing on your network. If you
use static IP addressing and want to perform pre-provisioning, construct a small, separate network and connect
a DHCP and TFTP server to that network.
In addition, if option 66 of the DHCP server cannot be set, or if you are unauthorized to change this setting,
perform pre-provisioning on the separate network, and then connect the unit to the actual network.

2.1.3 Server for Pre-provisioning

The DHCP server and TFTP server play important roles in performing pre-provisioning. This section explains
their purposes, uses, and brief descriptions.

DHCP server
TFTP server
DHCP and TFTP servers may be supplied with your operating system, provided through commercial services,
and are also distributed freely on the Internet. Use a server setup that best matches your environment.
When installing and setting up the DHCP server and TFTP server, refer to the documentation supplied with
the product. For details about connecting servers to the network and managing them, consult your network
administrator.
