Section	Item	Range	Description
Boot Mode	BootP	BootP or Default IP (default)	Choose this mode to inform the
Setting	Request		switch to send a BootP request
	Mode		when the switch IP address
			stored in nonvolatile memory is
			the factory default value. If the
			stored IP address differs from
			the factory default value, the
			switch uses the stored network
			parameters. If the switch cannot
			find a BootP server, it tries five
			more times to find one and then
			defaults to the factory settings
		BootP Always	Choose this mode to inform
			the switch to ignore any stored
			network parameters and send
			a BootP request, each time it
			boots. If the BootP request
			fails, the switch boots with the
			factory default IP configuration.
			This setting disables remote
			management if no BootP server
			is set up for the switch, but lets
			the switch boot normally.
		BootP Disabled	Choose this mode to inform the
			switch to use the IP configuration
			parameters stored in nonvolatile
