In one example, in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network comprising one or more configuration computing systems, a method includes receiving one or more augmented DHCP configuration messages. The method also includes determining that each of the one or more augmented DHCP configuration messages includes a message tag indicating that the respective augmented DHCP configuration message contains parameter information that includes a client identifier associated with a respective one of the one or more network devices. The method further includes determining, based on the parameter information included in each of the one or more augmented DHCP configuration messages, configuration data that is usable to configure the one or more network devices. The method also includes configuring, based on the configuration data, the one or more network devices.
