Choosing a BootP Request Mode
The BootP Request Mode field in the IP Configuration screen allows you to
choose which method the switch uses to broadcast BootP requests:
• BootP Disabled
• BootP or Last Address
• BootP When Needed
• BootP Always
BootP Disabled
Allows the switch to be managed only by using the IP address set from the
console terminal (this is the default mode for your switch). When selected, this
mode operates as follows:
• The switch does not broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an IP
address is set from the console terminal.
• The switch can be managed only by using the in-band IP address set from the
console terminal.
These actions take effect after the switch is reset or power cycled, even if an IP
address is not currently in use.
BootP or Last Address
Allows the switch to be managed even if a BootP server is not reachable. When
selected, this mode operates as follows:
• When the IP data is entered from the console terminal, the data becomes the
in-band address of the switch and BootP requests are not broadcast. The
switch can be managed using this in-band IP address.
Note:
Whenever the switch is broadcasting BootP requests, the BootP process
will time out if a reply is not received within (approximately) 7 minutes. 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 When Needed, BootP Always, or
to BootP or Last Address.
