DGS-3700-12/DGS-3700-12G Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual

When DHCP autoconfiguration is Enabled, the Switch becomes a DHCP client automatically after rebooting. The DHCP server must have the TFTP server IP address and configuration file name, and be configured to deliver this information in the data field of the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be running and have the requested configuration file in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch. Consult the DHCP server and TFTP server software instructions for information on loading a configuration file.

If the Switch is unable to complete the autoconfiguration process the previously saved local configuration file present in Switch memory will be loaded.

MAC Address Aging Time

This table specifies the length of time a learned MAC Address will remain in the forwarding table without being accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC Address is allowed to remain idle). To change this, enter a value representing the MAC address age-out time in seconds. The MAC Address Aging Time can be set to any value between 10 and 1,000,000 seconds. The default setting is 300 seconds.
