    Abstract: In one implementation, a method performed by a first node with interfaces configured as IP unnumbered interfaces sharing a single IP address and to communicate with a DHCP-associated second node includes: obtaining a first message that indicates a configuration status of a third node at a respective interface; obtaining a second message for the third node from the DHCP-associated second node that includes a temporary IP address for the third node and an indicator of a file server; obtaining a third message associated with the third node that includes the temporary IP address, the third message requests address information for the file server; and configuring the third node by establishing a connection between the third node and the file server to transfer at least one configuration file, where configuring the third node includes providing the temporary IP address to the DHCP-associated second node via BGP.
