BootP or Last Address	Choose this mode to inform
	the switch at each startup,
	to obtain its IP configuration
	using BootP. If the BootP
	request fails, the switch uses
	the network parameters stored
	in its nonvolatile memory.

ATTENTION

Valid parameters obtained in using BootP always replace current information stored in the nonvolatile memory.

ATTENTION

Whenever the switch is broadcasting BootP requests, the BootP process times out if a reply is not received within 7 minutes (approximately). When the process times out, the BootP request mode automatically changes to BootP Disabled mode. To restart the BootP process, change the BootP request mode to any of the three following modes: BootP or Default IP, BootP Always, or to BootP or Last Address.
