Using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP Reply

A host-based DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server can provide information for the MSS to use to configure an IP address when the unit boots. See the host-based man pages for configuration information. Keep in mind that many BOOTP daemons will not reply to a BOOTP request if the download file name in the configuration file does not exist. If this is the case, create a file in the download path to get the BOOTP daemon to respond.

BOOTP and RARP are enabled by default on the MSS. If you wish to disable them, use the Change Server BOOTP Disabled and Change Server RARP Disabled commands. To enable DHCP, use the Change Server DHCP Enabled command.

Using the Serial Console

If the MSS encounters a problem with the Ethernet network during boot up, it sends an alert message to the console and wait ten seconds to detect serial port activity before attempting to finish booting. If you press a key during that time period, the MSS displays the Boot> prompt at which you can enter the Change IPaddress command to set the unit's IP address. It is recommended to let the MSS complete its normal boot process.

Note: For more information on Boot Configuration Program (BCP) commands, see 6:Troubleshooting.

Once the MSS completes its boot process, connect a terminal to the serial console and press the Return key. You will see the Local> prompt. Become the privileged user and enter the Change Server IPaddress command.
