Command Usage
• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access
over the network. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or
direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server.

periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the
configuration program.

function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests
will be broadcast periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP
address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address,
default gateway, and subnet mask).
You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by entering an
ip dhcp restart command, or by rebooting the.
