BOOTP S
ERVER
If you are using IP and you have a BOOTP server set up correctly on your network, you
must add the following information to the BOOTP server:
¥
Switch Media Access Control (MAC) address
¥
IP address
¥
Subnet address mask (optional)
¥
Default gateway
The Switch MAC address is found on the rear label of the Switch.
Once this is done, the IP address, subnetwork mask, and default gateway for the Switch
will be downloaded automatically. You can then start managing the Switch without
further conÞguration.
You can enable BOOTP on a per-VLAN basis by using the following command:
enable bootp vlan [<name> | all]
By default, BOOTP is enabled on the default VLAN.

ETTINGS
If you are using IP without a BOOTP server, you must enter the IP parameters for the
Switch in order for the SNMP Network Manager or Telnet software to communicate
with the device. To assign IP parameters to the Switch, you must do the following:
¥
Log in to the Switch with administrator privileges.
¥
Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask to a VLAN.
The Switch comes conÞgured with a default VLAN named
default
. To use Telnet or
an SNMP Network Manager, you must have at least one VLAN on the Switch, and it
must be assigned an IP address and subnetwork mask. IP addresses are always
assigned to a VLAN. The Summit can be assigned multiple IP addresses.
For information on creating and configuring VLANs, refer to
Chapter 5
.
To manually conÞgure the IP settings, perform the following steps:
1
Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal emulation software to the
console port.
2
At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.
