shows the configuration of the reserved leases on the DHCP server.

DNS Server Configuration

The DNS server maps the TFTP server name tftpserver to IP address 10.0.0.3.

TFTP Server Configuration (on UNIX)

The TFTP server base directory is set to /tftpserver/work/. This directory contains the network-confg file
used in the two-file read method. This file contains the hostname to be assigned to the switch based on
its IP address. The base directory also contains a configuration file for each switch (switcha-confg,
switchb-confg, and so forth) as shown in this display:

prompt> cd /tftpserver/work/

prompt> ls

network-confg

switcha-confg

switchb-confg

switchc-confg

switchd-confg

prompt> cat network-confg

ip host switcha 10.0.0.21

ip host switchb 10.0.0.22

ip host switchc 10.0.0.23

ip host switchd 10.0.0.24

DHCP Client Configuration

No configuration file is present on Switch A through Switch D.

Configuration Explanation

In

Figure 3-3

, Switch A reads its configuration file as follows:

It obtains its IP address 10.0.0.21 from the DHCP server.

If no configuration filename is given in the DHCP server reply, Switch A reads the network-confg
file from the base directory of the TFTP server.

It adds the contents of the network-confg file to its host table.
