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 44.
Note
The default setting for the BOOTP and DHCP client software is
disabled.
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 Configuration menu is displayed with the System menu
option selected by default.
2. If the System menu option is not selected, select it and then select the
General tab.
The General Tab menu is displayed, as shown in Figure 72 on page
248.
3. In the BOOTP/DHCP options in the General tab menu, click either
Enable or Disable.
Note
If you activate the BOOTP and 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.
Any static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address assigned to
the switch are deleted from the System Configuration menu and
replaced with the values the switch receives from the BOOTP or
DHCP server. If you later disable BOOTP and DHCP, these values are
returned to their default setting of 0.0.0.0.
