How automatic configuration works 
Automatic configuration works in the following manner: 
1. 
During startup, the device sets the first up interface (if up Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces are available, 
the VLAN interface of the default VLAN of the Ethernet interfaces is selected as the first up 
interface.) as the DHCP client to request parameters from the DHCP server, such as an IP address 
and name of a TFTP server, IP address of a DNS server, and the configuration file name. 
2. 
After getting related parameters, the device sends a TFTP request to obtain the configuration file 
from the specified TFTP server and executes the configuration file. If the client cannot get such 
parameters, it uses factory default configuration. 
 
 
NOTE: 
• 
To implement automatic configuration, you need to configure the DHCP server, DNS server and TFTP 
server, but you do not need to perform any configuration on the device that performs automatic 
configuration. 
• 
Before starting the device, connect only the interface needed in automatic configuration to the network.

 shows the work flow of automatic configuration.
