Enabling and
Disabling BOOTP
If you have a BOOTP server on your network, you can use that server to
allocate IP information for the Switch units in the stack automatically.
You can specify whether the Switch uses BOOTP by using the
bootp
command on the IP/Interface menu.
To specify that the Switch uses BOOTP:
1
At the Top-level menu, enter:
ip interface bootp
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter new value (enable, disable) [enable]:
2
Enter
enable
to specify that the Switch uses BOOTP, or
disable
to
specify that it does not.
In order for BOOTP to work, the IP configuration must be set to 0.0.0.0.
Use the
ip initializeConfig
command to clear any existing IP
configuration. For more information, see
“Resetting the IP
Configuration”
on
page 136

After BOOTP is enabled, you need to power cycle the unit before BOOTP
starts operating.
