72 CHAPTER 9: USING AUTOMATIC IP CONFIGURATION
Important Considerations
This section contains some important points to no te when using the
automatic IP configuration feature.
The dynamic nature of automatically configured IP information means
that a Switch may change its IP address whilst in use.
Server Support Your Switch has been tested to interoperate with DHCP and BOOTP
servers that use the following operating systems:
■Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
■Microsoft Windows NT4 Server
■Sun Solaris v2.5.1
If you want DHCP or BOOTP to be the me thod for automatic
configuration, make sure that your DHCP or BOOTP servers are operating
normally before you power on your Switch.
Event Log Entries
and Traps
An event log will be generated and an SN MP trap will be sent if any of
the following changes occur in the IP conf iguration:
■IP address configuration is changed manually
■IP address changes from Auto-IP to DHCP IP configuration
■DHCP negotiates a change in the IP configuration from Auto-IP
■BOOTP negotiates a change in the IP configuration
