Configuring the Switch

IP Configuration

Configuring DHCP/Bootp

In its default configuration, the switch is configured for DHCP/Bootp opera- tion. However, if an IP address has previously been configured or if the IP Config parameter has been set to Disabled, then you will need to use this procedure to reconfigure the parameter to enable DHCP/Bootp operation.

This procedure assumes that, for Bootp operation:

■a Bootp database record has already been entered into an appropriate Bootp server

■the necessary network connections are in place

■the Bootp server is accessible from the switch

and, for DHCP operation:

■the necessary network connections are in place

■a DHCP server is accessible from the switch

To configure the switch for DHCP/Bootp:

1.From the switch console Main Menu, select

2.Switch Management Access Configuration (IP, SNMP, Console) ...

1.IP Configuration

2.Press [E] (for Edit mode), then use [v] to move the cursor to the IP Config parameter field.

3.Use the Space bar to select the DHCP/Bootp option for the IP Config parameter. (This causes the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway parameters to not be accessible.)

4.Press [Enter] to exit from edit mode, then press [S] to save the configuration change.

When you press [S] to save the configuration change or reboot the switch with DHCP/Bootp enabled in a network providing DHCP/Bootp service, it will do the following:

■Receive an IP address and subnet mask and, if configured in the server, a gateway IP address and the address of a Timep server.

■For Bootp operation, if the reply provides information for downloading a configuration file, the switch then uses TFTP to download the file from the designated source, then reboots itself. This assumes that the switch has connectivity to the TFTP file server specified in the Bootp database configuration record and that the Bootp database record is correctly configured.
