Chapter 4: Basic Switch Parameters

Section I: Basic Operations

60

The following prompt is displayed:

DHCP/BOOTP/DISABLE (1-DHCP, 2-BOOTP, 3-DISABLE) :

4. Type 1 to activate DHCP, 2 to activate BOOTP, or 3 to disable both

application protocols. The default is disabled.

Note

If you activate the BOOTP or DHCP client software, the switch
immediately begins to query the network for the corresponding
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 manually
assigned to the switch is deleted from the System Configuration
menu and replaced with the value the switch receives from the
BOOTP or DHCP server. If you later disable BOOTP or DHCP, these
values are returned to their default settings.

5. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then

type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
