With a properly configured BootP server, the switch automatically learn its assigned IP address,
subnet mask, and the IP address of the default router (default gateway).
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series has a unique 48-bit hardware address, or
MAC address, that is printed on a label on the back panel. Use this MAC address when you
configure the network BootP server to recognize the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
Series BootP requests.
The BootP modes supported by the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series are
• BootP or Last Address mode
• BootP-When-Needed
• BootP Always
• BootP Disabled
Important:
The default BootP mode is BootP-When-Needed.
DHCP client
The Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client, uses either DHCP or BootP to assign
an IPv4 address to the management VLAN. Using the DHCP client, the switch can retrieve IP
address, netmask, default gateway, and Domain Name Server (DNS) information for a
maximum of three DNS servers.
