Command Usage

•You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access over the network or to connect the switch to existing IP subnets. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.

•If you select the bootp or dhcp option, IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests will be broadcast periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask).

•You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by entering an ip dhcp restart command, or by rebooting the switch.
