DHCP Auto Configuration
Auto configuration enables passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP
network. Based on this protocol, the Auto Configuration feature enables a device
to download configuration files from a TFTP/SCP server.
The device can be configured as a DHCPv4 client in which auto configuration from
a DHCPv4 server is supported and/or a DHCPv6 client in which auto configuration
from a DHCPv6 server is supported.
By default, the device is enabled as a DHCP client when the Auto Configuration
feature is enabled.
