ENABLE BOOTP

Syntax

enable bootp

Parameters

None.

Description

This command activates the BOOTP client software on the switch. This command is equivalent to SET IP INTERFACE on page 55. The default setting for the BOOTP client software is disabled.

Note

When you activate BOOTP, the switch immediately begins to query the network for a BOOTP server. The switch continues to query the network for its IP configuration until it receives a response.

Any static IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address assigned to the switch is deleted from the System Configuration menu and replaced with the value the switch receives from the BOOTP server. If you later disable BOOTP, these values are returned to their default settings.

To disable BOOTP, refer to DISABLE DHCPBOOTP on page 38 or DISABLE

IP REMOTEASSIGN on page 39.

Note

You cannot manually assign an IP address or subnet mask to a switch once the BOOTP client software is activated.

Example

The following command activates the BOOTP client software on the switch:

enable bootp
