Request
Mode
BootP or Default IP (default) Choose this mode to inform the
switch to send a BootP request
when the switch IP address
stored in nonvolatile memory is
the factory default value. If the
stored IP address differs from
the factory default value, the
switch uses the stored network
parameters. If the switch cannot
find a BootP server, it tries five
more times to find one and then
defaults to the factory settings
BootP Always Choose this mode to inform
the switch to ignore any stored
network parameters and send
a BootP request, each time it
boots. If the BootP request
fails, the switch boots with the
factory default IP configuration.
This setting disables remote
management if no BootP server
is set up for the switch, but lets
the switch boot normally.
BootP Disabled Choose this mode to inform the
switch to use the IP configuration
parameters stored in nonvolatile
