BOOTP - When BOOTP is selected, the switch repeats requests at regular intervals,
until it receives a valid reply. The requests will cease if a valid IP address is configured
or the IP state is set to IP Disabled.
Once the switch stops sending BOOTP requests, it does not resume sending requests
or recognize BOOTP responses unless the switch is reset. The parameters in a BOOTP
response that are recognized and recorded in the switch's EEPROM are:
IP Address
Default Gateway
Subnet Mask
TFTP Boot File Name
TFTP Server IP Address
Assigning SNMP Parameters
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes an on-board SNMP agent
which monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its
ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network Management Station
(NMS), can be used to access this information. Access rights to the on-board agent are
controlled by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the NMS must first
submit a valid community string for authentication. The options for configuring
community strings and related trap functions are described in the following figures and
table:
