The invention relates to a method for an automatic assignment of IP addresses to the interfaces of network elements having at least two interfaces, by one of which they are newly connected, either directly or via other network elements, to a server of an IP based network. To minimise the necessary manual configuration when a network element with at least two interfaces is newly connected to an IP based network, under following steps are proposed: checking by said network element, which of its interfaces is connected to the server; said network element sending a configuration request via its interface linked to the server; the server of the network receiving the request, choosing and reserving as many IP addresses as needed for the new network element, and sending out a response with said IP addresses to the new network element; the new network element receiving said IP addresses and applying them on its interfaces requiring an address.
