You can enable BootP on a per-VLAN basis by using the following
command:
enable bootp vlan [
By default, BootP is enabled on the default VLAN.
If you configure the switch to use BootP, the switch IP address is not
retained through a power cycle, even if the configuration has been
saved. To retain the IP address through a power cycle, you must
configure the IP address of the VLAN using the command-line
interface, Telnet, or Web interface.
All VLANs within a switch that are configured to use BootP to get
their IP address use the same MAC address. Therefore, if you are
using BootP relay through a router, the BootP server must be capable
of differentiating its relay based on the gateway portion of the BootP
packet.
Note
For more information on DHCP/BootP relay, refer to

Manually Configuring the IP Settings. If you are using IP without a
BootP server, you must enter the IP parameters for the switch in
order for the SNMP Network Manager, Telnet software, or Web
interface to communicate with the device. To assign IP parameters to
the switch, you must do the following:
❑ Log in to the switch with administrator privileges.
❑ Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask to a VLAN.
The switch comes configured with a default VLAN named
default. To use Telnet or an SNMP Network Manager, you must
have at least one VLAN on the switch, and it must be assigned
an IP address and subnetwork mask. IP addresses are always
assigned to a VLAN. The switch can be assigned multiple IP
addresses.
