Chapter 3 Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway
Assigning Switch Information
For example, in
Figure 3-2
, configure the router interfaces as follows:
On interface 10.0.0.2:
router(config-if)#
ip helper-address 20.0.0.2
router(config-if)#
ip helper-address 20.0.0.3
router(config-if)#
ip helper-address 20.0.0.4
On interface 20.0.0.1
router(config-if)#
ip helper-address 10.0.0.1
Note
If the switch is acting as the relay device, configure the interface as a routed port. For more information,
see the
“Routed Ports” section on page 9-4
and the
“Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces” section on
page 9-19
.

Obtaining Configuration Files
Depending on the availability of the IP address and the configuration filename in the DHCP reserved
lease, the switch obtains its configuration information in these ways:
•
The IP address and the configuration filename is reserved for the switch and provided in the DHCP
reply (one-file read method).
The switch receives its IP address, subnet mask, TFTP server address, and the configuration
filename from the DHCP server. The switch sends a unicast message to the TFTP server to retrieve
the named configuration file from the base directory of the server and upon receipt, it completes its
bootup process.
•
The IP address and the configuration filename is reserved for the switch, but the TFTP server
address is not provided in the DHCP reply (one-file read method).
The switch receives its IP address, subnet mask, and the configuration filename from the DHCP
server. The switch sends a broadcast message to a TFTP server to retrieve the named configuration
file from the base directory of the server, and upon receipt, it completes its bootup process.
