Any host wishing to access the MSS will have to be told the MSSÕs IP address. This is typically conÞgured in the unix Þle /etc/hosts or via a nameserver. Refer to the hostÕs documentation for additional information.

3.1.3 Using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP Reply

A host-based DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server can provide information for the MSS to use to conÞgure an IP address when the unit boots. See the host-based man pages for conÞguration information. Keep in mind that many BOOTP daemons will not reply to a BOOTP request if the download Þle name in the conÞguration Þle does not exist. If this is the case, create a Þle in the download path to get the BOOTP daemon to respond.

DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are all enabled by default on the MSS. If you wish to disable them, use theChange DHCP, Change BOOTP, and Change RARP commands (see the Commands chapter in the MSS Reference Manual on the CD-ROM).

3.1.4 Using the Serial Console

Connect a terminal to the serial console and press the Return key.

If the MSS is running normally when you press the Return key, a Local prompt will be displayed. You can become the privileged user and enter the Change IPaddress command at this prompt.
