IP State
Display the following choices by highlighting IP State and pressing
ENTER
:
•
IP Disabled
•
BootP When Needed
•
BootP Always
Then highlight one of these choices and press
ENTER
. The meaning of these values
are as described below:
•
IP Disabled—When a VLAN is IP-disabled, it will not process any IP or ARP
packets it receives. This means that no IP-SNMP, Ping, Telnet, or ARP Packets
will be responded to when received.
➽
Note: Sending a Ping from an IP-disabled VLAN or a VLAN whose IP address is
0.0.0.0 is not possible.
•
BootP When Needed—In this state, the switch will send out BootP requests in
the VLAN until the IP address becomes different from 0.0.0.0 or 192.0.2.1.
BootP When Needed is the factory-set default. A switch for which NVRAM is
not initialized (for instance, a new switch out of the box or on a bootup after
NVRAM is cleared) or one whose NVRAM is corrupted and unreadable, will
always attempt to use BootP the first time.
•
BootP Always—In this state, IP is enabled for the VLAN but will not function
fully on boot until a BootP reply has been received. If a non-zero IP address is
stored in NVRAM for a given VLAN in this state when booted, it is cleared to
0.0.0.0 since it would never be used.
➽
Note: For the default TrBRF the value is BootP when Needed. For all the other
VLANs the default is IP Disabled
Send PING
Prompts you to enter an IP address (IP address must be entered and the IP subnet
mask must be set). The system then sends a PING to that address. Note that if you
have just set the IP address, you must press
ENTER
and select the menu again before
a PING can be sent.
