TFTP Client

The TFTP client downloads configuration files and sends TFTP requests to the broadcast IP address (255.255.255.255).

DNS Client

The DNS client resolves an IP address to a hostname and resolves a hostname to an IP address (reverse IP address to hostname mapping).

BOOTP/DHCP Client

The DHCP and BOOTP clients handle predefined IP address configuration. The DHCPINFORM message type is sent to request Auto Config boot options.

Stacking

The downloaded configuration file is not distributed across a stack. When an administrator saves configuration, the config file is distributed across a stack.
