memory, each time the switch
boots. If a BootP configuration
is in progress when you issue
this command, the BootP
configuration stops.
BootP or Last Address
Choose this mode to inform
the switch at each startup,
to obtain its IP configuration
using BootP. If the BootP
request fails, the switch uses
the network parameters stored
in its nonvolatile memory.
ATTENTION
Valid parameters obtained in
using BootP always replace
current information stored in
the nonvolatile memory.
ATTENTION
Whenever the switch is broadcasting BootP requests, the BootP
process times out if a reply is not received within 7 minutes
(approximately). 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 or Default IP, BootP Always,
or to BootP or Last Address.
