Auto Configuration via DHCP
DHCP auto configuration enables passing configuration information to hosts on a
TCP/IP network. Based on this protocol, the Auto Configuration feature enables a
device to download configuration files from a TFTP/SCP server.
To use this feature, the device must be configured as a DHCPv4 client in which
case auto configuration from a DHCPv4 server is supported and/or a DHCPv6
client in which case auto configuration from a DHCPv6 server is supported.
By default, the device is enabled as a DHCP client when the Auto Configuration via
DHCP feature is enabled.
The Auto Configuration process also supports downloading a configuration file
that includes sensitive information, such as RADIUS server keys and SSH/SSL
keys, by using the Secured Copy Protocol (SCP) and the Secure Sensitive Data
(SSD) feature (See Security: Secure Sensitive Data Management).
