ES4710BD 10 Slots L2/L3/L4 Chassis Switch
5.3Configuring Switch IP Addresses
All Ethernet ports of ES4710BD perform layer 2 forwarding. The VLAN interface represents a Layer 3 interface function, which can be assigned an IP address, this is also the IP address of the switch. All VLAN interface related configuration commands can be configured under VLAN Mode. ES4710BD provides three IP address configuration methods:
&Manual
&BootP
&DHCP
Manual configuration of IP address is assign an IP address manually for the switch.
In BootP/DHCP mode, the switch operates as a BootP/DHCP client. It sends broadcast packets of BootPRequest to the BootP/DHCP servers. The BootP/DHCP servers then assign the address upon receiving the request. In addition, ES4710BD can act as a DHCP server, and dynamically assign network parameters such as IP addresses, gateway addresses and DNS server addresses to DHCP clients. DHCP Server configurations are detailed in later chapters.
