• Option 67 (Bootfile name)—The DHCP server relays the bootfile name to the DHCP client. The bootfile
name includes the complete path to the bootfile on the TFTP server. The DHCP client uses this information
to download the script file.
When multiple DHCP offers that meet the requirement are received, an offer is randomly chosen. The device
completes the DHCP negotiation (request and acknowledgment) with the selected DHCP server, and the
DHCP server assigns an IP address to the switch. If there is a failure in any of the subsequent steps in the
POAP process, the IP address is released back to the DHCP server.
