Chapter 2 DHCP/BOOTP Client Configuration
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
2-4
The BOOTP packets are based on user datagram protocol (UDP). To ensure reliable
packet transmission, a timer is triggered when the BOOTP client sends a request
packet to the server. If no response packet from the server is received after the timer
times out, the client resends the request packet. The packet is resent every five
seconds and three times at most. After that, no packet is resent if there is still no
response packet from the server.
2.3 DHCP/BOOTP Client Configuration
An S5600 series Ethernet switch can operate as a DHCP/BOOTP client. In this case,
the IP address of the management VLAN interface is obtained through DHCP/BOOTP.
2.3.1 Prerequisites
Before configuring the management VLAN, you need to create the VLAN
corresponding to the VLAN ID. As VLAN 1 is the default VLAN, you do not need to
create it if you configure VLAN 1 to be the management VLAN.
