For our gear, we recommend matching on MAC address when setting up the vendor specific attribute configuration in DHCP.
<div>I'm not sure how prevalent it is, but our boxes will also pattern match with Model, MAC address, or Serial Number on the config file or image URLs if you use </div>
<div>some magic variables in the path. This makes it easier to set up per-box configurations.</div>

Depends on the vendor. Some come from the factory with dhcp enabled so you can have services listening to that. If you setup helper addresses on the upstream, it may be possible to infer the new hostname based on added attributes.

<div dir="auto">Unfortunately far too many don't do dhcp by default so you need to frob over the console. That can be automated but it's quite involved.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Interested to hear the experiences of anyone who's setup network boot for configuration recovery. My gripe is that if you're starting from bare metal, the hostname's not set, which means you need to manually set "boot host". Interested if anyone's
managed to make this zero touch recovery, and if there's any well supported software. Yes you can roll your own, but no, Change Management just roll their eyes.<br>

Kind regards<br>
