Abstract
A local network can include a configuration server such as a DHCP server. When requesting a local network configuration from the server, a device may include credentials that can be verified by the server to establish that the device is authorized to use the local network. In addition, when providing a network configuration, the server may include its own credentials so that the device can determine whether the configuration has originated from a trusted server.
