Activating the BOOTP and DHCP Client Software

For background information on BOOTP and DHCP, refer to the section
Activating the BOOTP and DHCP Client Software on page 62.

To activate or deactivate the BOOTP and DHCP client software on the
switch from a web browser management session, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.

The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 194 on page 586.

2. In the BOOTP/DHCP section of the tab, click either Enable to activate

the client software or Disable to disable it. The default is disabled.

3. Click Apply to activate your change on the switch.

Note

If you activated BOOTP/DHCP, 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/DHCP server.

4. Click Save Changes to permanently save your changes. (This button

does not appear if there are no changes to save.)
