Using the Console Interface309985-B Rev 00 3-11BootP DisabledAllows the switch to be managed only by using the IP address set from theconsole terminal (this is the default mode for your switch).When selected, this mode operates as follows:• The switch does not broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an IPaddress is set from the console terminal.• The switch can be managed only by using the in-band IP address set from theconsole terminal.These actions take effect after the switch is reset or power cycled, even if an IPaddress is not currently in use.BootP or Last AddressAllows the switch to be managed even if a BootP server is not reachable.When selected, this mode operates as follows:• When the IP data is entered from the console terminal, the data becomes thein-band address of the switch and BootP requests are not broadcast. Theswitch can be managed using this in-band IP address.• When the in-band IP address is not set from the console terminal, the switchbroadcasts BootP requests until it receives a BootP reply containing anin-band IP address. If the switch does not receive a BootP reply that containsan in-band IP address within 10 minutes, the switch uses the last in-band IPaddress it received from a BootP server. This IP information is displayed inthe Last BootP column.If an IP address is not currently in use, these actions take effect immediately. If anIP address is currently in use, these actions take effect only after the switch is resetor power cycled.
