Boot Mode
Setting BootP
Request
Mode BootP When Needed (default) Choose this mode to inform the
switch to send a BootP request when
the switch IP address stored in
nonvolatile memory is the factory
default value. If the stored IP address
differs from the factory default value,
the switch uses the stored network
parameters. If the switch cannot find
a BootP server, it tries five more
times to find one and then defaults to
the factory settings
BootP Always Choose this mode to inform the
switch to ignore any stored network
parameters and send a BootP
request, each time it boots. If the
BootP request fails, the switch boots
with the factory default IP
configuration. This setting disables
remote management if no BootP
server is set up for the switch, but
allows the switch to boot normally.
BootP Disabled Choose this mode to inform the
switch to use the IP configuration
parameters stored in non-volatile
memory, each time the switch boots.
If a BootP configuration is in progress
when you issue this command, the
BootP configuration stops.
