Chapter 3 Using the console interface 103
Using the BayStack 380 10/100/1000 Switch
BootP Always
Allows the switch to be managed only when configured with the IP address
obtained from the BootP server. When selected, this mode operates as follows:
• The switch continues to broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an
in-band IP address is set from the console terminal.
• If the switch receives a BootP reply that contains an in-band IP address, the
switch uses this new in-band IP address.
• If the switch does not receive a BootP reply, the switch cannot be managed
using the in-band IP address set from the console terminal.
If an IP address is not currently in use, these actions take effect immediately. If an
IP address is currently in use, these actions take effect only after the switch is reset
or power cycled.
BootP Disabled
Allows the switch to be managed only by using the IP address set from the
console terminal. 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 switch 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.
