Enabling DCHP Option 67
DHCP option 67 provides configuration file downloads to the device as part of the
procedure to renew the IP address in a TCP/IP network. Once DHCP load
configuration is enabled, on the next DHCP renew, if there is a new configuration
available on the server it will be downloaded and the system automatically
reboots to apply the new configuration.
If DHCP load configuration is enabled, when pressing the Renew DHCP Address
button if there is a new configuration available on the server it is downloaded and
the system automatically reboots to apply it. If the device was configured with
additional attributes over the configuration file, these settings are deleted. To
prevent this, clear the Enable DHCP load configuration option. In an automatic
DHCP renewal procedure (not manual), the device configuration is not overwritten
