Using the BayStack 350 10/100 Autosense Switch

BootP Always

This mode allows the switch to be managed only when configured with the IP address obtained from the BootP server.

When selected, this mode operates as follows:

The switch continues to broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an in-band IP address is set from the console terminal.

If the switch receives a BootP reply that contains an in-band IP address, the switch uses this new in-band IP address.

If the switch does not receive a BootP reply, the switch cannot be managed using the in-band IP address set from the console terminal.

If an IP address is not currently in use, these actions take effect immediately.

If an IP address is currently in use, these actions take effect only after the switch is reset or power cycled.
