摘要:
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for automatically configuring devices on a network. The network adapters on a device are enumerated with a DHCP DISCOVER request. The system determines that the DHCP DISCOVER request will not return a complete set of information needed to configure the device, and broadcasts a DHCP INFORM request over a network to obtain additional information. The DHCP INFORM request includes a parameter requesting one or more server addresses, and at least one identification parameter that describes the device. The device listens for at least one response on its network adapters. Upon receiving at least one response to the DHCP INFORM request, the device takes an appropriate configuration action based on the response.
