NetStructure™ 480T Routing Switch User Guide
You can enable BOOTP on a per-VLAN basis using this command:
enable bootp vlan [<name> | all]
By default, BOOTP is enabled on the default VLAN.
If you configure the 480T routing switch to use BOOTP, the switch
IP address is not retained through a power cycle, even if the
configuration is saved. To retain the IP address through a power
cycle, you must configure the IP address of the VLAN using the
command-line interface, Telnet, or Web interface.
All VLANs within a switch that are configured to use BOOTP to get
their IP address use the same MAC address. Therefore, if you are
using BOOTP relay through a router, the BOOTP server must be
capable of differentiating its relay based on the gateway portion of
the BOOTP packet.
Manually Configuring the IP Settings
For more information on
DHCP/BOOTP relay, refer
to "IP Unicast Routing" on
page 189.
If you are using IP without a BOOTP server, you must enter the IP
parameters for the switch in order for the SNMP Network Manager,
Telnet software, or Web interface to communicate with the device.
IP addresses are always assigned to a VLAN. You can assign
multiple IP addresses to the switch.
To assign IP parameters to the switch:
1. Log in to the switch with administrator privileges.
2. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to a VLAN.
The switch comes configured with a default VLAN named default.
To use Telnet or an SNMP Network Manager, you must have at
least one VLAN on the switch, and it must be assigned an IP address
and subnet mask.
For information on creating
and configuring VLANs,
see "Virtual LANs
(VLANs)" on page 95.
To manually configure the IP settings:
1. Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation
software to the console port.
2. At your terminal, press Enter one or more times until you see the
login prompt.
3. If you are logging in for the first time, use the default user name
admin to log in with administrator privileges. For example:
