Using a BOOTP Server | Using a DHCP Server |
The access server writes the information it learns from the BOOTP server to NVRAM.
The access server does not write the information it learns from the DHCP server to NVRAM. This ensures that the access server receives the most recent information from the DHCP server.
During initialization, the access server acts as a DHCP client to obtain IP configuration parameters (excluding the IP address; use a BOOTP server or the DEFINE INTERNET ADDRESS command to configure the IP address).
