Activating the BOOTP or DHCP Client Software
For background information on BOOTP and DHCP, refer to the AT-S62
Menus Interface User’s Guide.
To activate or deactivate the BOOTP or DHCP client software on the
switch from a web browser management session, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.
2. Select the System menu option.
3. Select the General tab.
The General tab is shown in Figure 7 on page 32.
4. In the BOOTP/DHCP section of the tab, click Enable (DHCP) to
activate the DHCP client software, Enable (BOOTP) to activate the
BOOTP client software, or Disable if you want to enter a static IP
address for the switch or do not want to assign the switch an IP
address. The default is disabled.
5. Click Apply to activate your change on the switch.
Note
If you activated the BOOTP or DHCP client software, the switch
immediately begins to query the network for a BOOTP or DHCP
server. The switch continues to query the network for its IP
configuration until it receives a response. If you manually assigned
the switch and IP address, that address is deleted and replaced by
the IP address received from the BOOTP or DHCP server.
6. Click Save Config to permanently save your changes.
