Configuration Commands

Domain Name System configuration

The Domain Name System (DNS) Configuration commands are used for defining the primary and secondary DNS servers on your local network, and for setting the default domain name served by the switch services. DNS parameters must be configured prior to using hostname parameters with the ping, traceroute, and tftp commands.

Bootstrap Protocol Relay configuration

Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) Relay is used to allow hosts to obtain their configurations from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The BOOTP configuration enables the switch to forward a client request for an IP address to two DHCP/BOOTP servers with IP addresses that have been configured on the HP 10GbE switch.

BOOTP relay is turned off by default.
