Automatic configuration workflow

Automatic-configuration parameter acquisition process

After the device finds an interface for automatic configuration, it enables the DHCP client on the interface.

Then, the DHCP client broadcasts a DHCP request to locate a DHCP server and request configuration

settings. The DHCP request contains DHCP Option 55, which indicates the configuration settings the

device requires, including the configuration file name, the TFTP server domain name, the TFTP server IP

address, and the DNS server IP address.
