DHCP Configuration
You can use this selection to configure the switch to obtain its IP
address from a DHCP server. When you select this option, the
prompts in Figure 10 are displayed.
Figure 10 DHCP Selections
If you select Enable DHCP function, the switch will obtain its IP address
from a DHCP server on the network. If you select Disable DHCP
function, you must assign the IP address manually. The default for this
setting is disabled.
A change to the DHCP setting does not take affect on the switch until
the unit is reset.
Download password
This password is required when downloading AT-S26 image files from
one AT-9006 switch to another switch. The default password is
ATS26, displayed as a series of asterisks. You can keep the default or
change it. A switch can only accept software downloads from another
switch of the same product series and if their download passwords
are the same. The software automatically searches for this password
during downloads without requiring you to enter it.
This password is also used as the destination filename when you are
using TFTP to update the AT-S26 firmware. For instructions on how to
download the firmware onto a switch, refer to Chapter 8, Upgrading
Switch Software and Configuration Files.
Note
This password is different from the Omega password. The Omega
password prevents unauthorized individuals from using the Omega
interface to change switch configuration settings. For instructions
on setting the Omega password, refer to Chapter 7, Configuring
the Omega Interface.
