BootP Configuration
The IntraChassis 9000 is shipped with BootP support. BootP allows the
IntraChassis 9000 to be automatically configured with an IP address when it is
connected to the network and is powered on, if your network contains a BootP
server configured with available, valid IP addresses. Use the following procedure
to set up BootP.
▲ Important: BootP configuration only works if the
IntraChassis 9000 does not have an IP address assigned to
it.
1 Make sure your network has a BootP server configured with
a valid IP address entry for the IntraChassis 9000.
2 When the IntraChassis 9000 is connected to the network
and is powered on, it automatically transmits a BootP
request across the network (up to 10 times) until it receives
a valid IP address from the BootP server.
3 After an IP address is received, the IntraChassis 9000 can be
managed via in-band access. See Chapter 3, “Basic Configu-
ration” for more information.
To verify that a valid IP address was received, try to ‘ping’ the IntraChassis
9000; if you can access the IntraChassis 9000, it is properly configured with an
IP address.
See “Bootstrap Configuration” in Chapter 3 for more information on using
BootP.
