This section provides information about dynamic allocation of IP addresses and security management based on the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) mechanism, and includes the following topics:

Configuring IP Addresses through DHCP

Configuring IP Addresses through BOOTP

Security Management and Password Configuration

When configuring/receiving IP addresses through DHCP and BOOTP, the configuration received from these servers includes the IP address and may include subnet mask and default gateway.

Retrieving an IP Address From a DHCP Server

When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the device acts as a DHCP client. When the device is reset, the DHCP command is saved in the configuration file, but the IP address is not.

To retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, perform the following steps:

1Select and connect any port to a DHCP server or to a subnet that has a DHCP server on it, in order to retrieve the IP address.

2Enter the following commands to use the selected port for receiving the IP address. In the following example, the commands are based on the port type used for configuration.

Assigning Dynamic IP Addresses: console# configure

console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1 console(config-if)# ip address dhcp hostname powerconnect console(config-if)# exit

console(config)#
