Response time from DHCP servers vary considerably for different
network environments. If you do not get a response in a reasonable
amount of time, try entering the “dhcp disable” command followed by the
“dhcp enable” command. Otherwise, set the static IP address to a null
address (see page 38 ), and then enter the “dhcp enable” command or
reboot the switch.

To generate an IPv6 address that can be used in a network containing more
than one subnet, the switch can be configured to automatically generate a
unique host address based on the local subnet address prefix received in
router advertisement messages.
To dynamically generate an IPv6 host address for the switch, type the
following command, and press <Enter>.
“ip ipv6 autoconfig enable”
>ip ipv6 autoconfig enable
>ip ipv6 autoconfig
IPv6 AUTOCONFIG mode : Enabled
IPv6 Address : 2001:db8:2222:7272::72

The switch can be configured to accept management commands from
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications such as HP
OpenView. You can configure the switch to (1) respond to SNMP requests
or (2) generate SNMP traps.
When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch (either to
return information or to set a parameter), the switch provides the
requested data or sets the specified parameter. The switch can also be
configured to send information to SNMP managers (without being
requested by the managers) through trap messages, which inform the
manager that certain events have occurred.
