Managing switches

Network Discovery

Choose one of the following methods for assigning the IP

address:

Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in

the Network Properties dialog box.

BootP—Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP

server. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to

the previously configured IP address.

RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)—Acquires

the IP address from a RARP server. A RARP request is

broadcast with up to three retries, each at 5 second

intervals. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts

to the previously configured IP address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—Acquires

the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If no

satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client attempts

to use the previously configured lease. If the previous

lease cannot be used, no IP address will be assigned to

this switch in order to avoid an IP address conflict.
