the Console

Using Bootp
In its default configuration, the switch is configured to enable Bootp opera-
tion. However, if an IP address has previously been configured or if the IP
Config parameter has been set to Disabled, then you will need to use this
procedure to reconfigure the parameter to enable Bootp operation.
This procedure assumes that a Bootp database record has already been
entered into an appropriate Bootp server, and that the necessary network
connections are in place. For samples of Bootp server table entries, see “Bootp
Database Entries” later in this chapter.
To configure the switch for Bootp:
1. In the Main Menu, select Configuration .
2. In the Configuration screen select Internet (IP) Service.
3. Press [E] (for Edit mode), then use [v] to move the cursor to the
IP Config parameter field.
4. Use the Space bar to select the Use Bootp option for the IP Config
parameter. (This disables access to the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway parameters.)
5. Press [Enter] to exit from edit mode, then press [S] to save the configuration
change.
