12.5.3 Assigning the IP address via BootP
For IP address assignment, the device uses the BootP protocol. The IP address can also be
assigned via BootP. On the Internet, numerous BootP servers are available. You can use
any of these programs for address assignment.
Section 13.1 explains IP address assignment using the free Windows software
“IP Assignment Tool” (IPAssign.exe).
Notes for BootP
During initial startup, the device transmits BootP requests without interruption until it re-
ceives a valid IP address. After receiving a valid IP address, the device no longer sends
BootP requests. The FL MGUARD can then no longer be accessed via IP address
192.168.1.1.
After receiving a BootP reply, the device no longer sends BootP requests, not even after it
has been restarted. For the device to send BootP requests again, it must either be set to the
default settings or one of the procedures (recovery or flash) must be performed.
After assigning an IP address via BootP, the FL MGUARD can no longer be accessed via
IP address 192.168.1.1
