If the “bootp” or “dhcp” option is saved to the startup-config file (step 6),
then the switch will start broadcasting service requests as soon as it is
powered on.
To automatically configure the switch by communicating with BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network, complete the following
steps:
1. From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1”
to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
2. At the interface-configuration mode prompt, use one of the following
commands:
• To obtain IP settings via DHCP, type “ip address dhcp” and press
<Enter>.
• To obtain IP settings via BOOTP, type “ip address bootp” and
press <Enter>.
3. Type “end” to return to the Privileged Exec mode. Press <Enter>.
4. Type “ip dhcp restart client” to begin broadcasting service requests.
Press <Enter>.
5. Wait a few minutes, and then check the IP configuration settings by
typing the “show ip interface” command. Press <Enter>.
