<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">hello,<br>
<br>
I would to define and unattended process to configure devices which are
http-server-enabled, use DHCP but do not use TFTP-DCHP to configure themselves
during boot.<br>
<br>
Has anyone worked on such subject ?<br>
<br>
I was thinking of something like :<br>
<br>
populating configuration file from device web pages (rendering this as generic
and flexible as possible)<br>
writing a script which reads this file and set each parameter using http <br>
writing a script which monitors network environment to trigger previous when
certain events occur.<br>
<br>
All this is not very clear for me, yet.<br>
<br>
Regards</span></font></p>
