Abstract

Techniques for automated configuration are provided. A first device detects a new device connected by one or more new links in a network, and the first device transmits, to a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server, a request for a first new subnet. The first device then assigns a first address of the first new subnet to a first new interface of the first device. The first device additionally transmits a second address of the first new subnet to the new device, where the new device uses the second address to establish connectivity to the network.
