APPENDIX B: Set Up DHCP Auto-Provisioning
Networking devices, such as switches or gateways, with DHCP Auto-provisioning function allow
you to automatically upgrade firmware and configuration at startup process. Before setting up
DHCP Server for auto-upgrade of firmware and configuration, please make sure the Managed
Switch that you purchased can support DHCP Auto-provisioning. Setup procedures and auto-
provisioning process are described below for your reference.
A. Setup Procedures
Follow the steps below to set up Auto Provisioning server, modify dhcpd.conf file and generate a
copy of configuration file.
Step 1. Set up Environment
DHCP Auto-provisioning-enabled products that you purchased support the DHCP option 60 to
work as a DHCP client. To make auto-provisioning function work properly, you need to prepare
ISC DHCP server, File server (TFTP or FTP) and the switching device. See below for a possible
network topology example.
