Setting Up BOOTP
The BOOTP option allows you to enable or disable the
bootstrap protocol. The BOOTP (bootstrap protocol)
allows the switch to discover and learn its own IP
address and routing table information. To configure a
Switch 2000 TR with the BOOTP option you will need
a BOOTP server program. The MAC address, recorded
on a label on the rear panel of the Switch 2000 TR,
must be entered in the BOOTP server program along
with the corresponding IP address of the Switch 2000
TR and its default route information. This allows the
BOOTP request from the agent to be logged by the
BOOTP server which then supplies the required IP
information.
Follow the instructions below to set the BootP com-
munications parameters.
