Configuring for Management
Page 2-9
Use the following procedure to set up BootP:
1
Make sure your network has a BootP server configured with
a valid IP address entry for the IntraCore 6524.
2
When the IntraCore 6524 is connected to the network and
is powered on, it automatically transmits a BootP request
across the network (up to 10 times) until it receives a valid
IP address from the BootP server.
3
After an IP address is received, the IntraCore 6524 can be
managed via in-band access. For more information, see
Chapter 3, “Configuration.”
To verify that a valid IP address was received, try to ‘ping’ the IntraCore 6524.
If you can access the IntraCore 6524, it is properly configured with an IP
address.
For more information on using BootP, see “Bootstrap Configuration” on
page 3-12.
