ONFIGURATION

Obtaining an IPv4 Address
If you select the “bootp” or “dhcp” option, the system will immediately

start broadcasting service requests. IP will be enabled but will not function

until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests are broadcast

every few minutes using exponential backoff until IP configuration

information is obtained from a BOOTP or DHCP server. BOOTP and DHCP

values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If

the DHCP/BOOTP server is slow to respond, you may need to use the “ip

dhcp restart client” command to re-start broadcasting service requests.

Note that the “ip dhcp restart client” command can also be used to start

broadcasting service requests for all VLANs configured to obtain address

assignments through BOOTP or DHCP. It may be necessary to use this

command when DHCP is configured on a VLAN, and the member ports

which were previously shut down are now enabled.

If the “bootp” or “dhcp” option is saved to the startup-config file (step 6),

then the switch will start broadcasting service requests as soon as it is

powered on.

To automatically configure the switch by communicating with BOOTP or

DHCP address allocation servers on the network, complete the following

steps:

From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to
access the interface-configuration mode. Press .

At the interface-configuration mode prompt, use one of the following
commands:

■

To obtain IP settings via DHCP, type “ip address dhcp” and press

■

To obtain IP settings via BOOTP, type “ip address bootp” and press

Type “end” to return to the Privileged Exec mode. Press .

Wait a few minutes, and then check the IP configuration settings by
typing the “show ip interface” command. Press .
