Chapter 3: Basic Switch Commands

ENABLE BOOTP
Syntax
enable bootp
Parameters
None.
Description
This command activates the BOOTP client software on the switch. This
command is equivalent to “SET IP INTERFACE” on page 48. The default
setting for the BOOTP client software is disabled.
Note
When you activate BOOTP, the switch immediately begins to query
the network for a BOOTP server. The switch continues to query the
network for its IP configuration until it receives a response.
Any static IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address assigned to
the switch is deleted from the System Configuration menu and
replaced with the value the switch receives from the BOOTP server.
If you later disable BOOTP, these values are returned to their
default settings.
To disable BOOTP, refer to “DISABLE DHCPBOOTP” on page 33 or
“DISABLE IP REMOTEASSIGN” on page 34.
Note
You cannot manually assign an IP address or subnet mask to a
switch when the BOOTP client software has been activated.
Example
The following command activates the BOOTP client software on the
switch:
enable bootp
