BootP When Needed
Choose this mode to inform the
switch to send a BootP request
when the switch IP address stored
in non volatile 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.
Note: This is the default.
Boot Mode
Setting
BootP Always
Choose this mode to inform the
switch, each time the switch boots,
to ignore stored network parameters
and send a BootP request. If the
BootP request fails, the switch
boots with the factory default IP
configuration. This setting disables
