LAN Interface configuration
Initialization mode selection
The following initialization (init) modes are selectable:
Bootp
When the initialization mode “Bootp” is selected, the card tries to download
the parameters from a Bootp Server. The parameters obtained become the
active parameters immediately. They are not stored to the non-volatile
memory of the card. Therefore, the parameters are lost with the next power
cycle of the card.
Figure 11 Bootp (Principle)
Bootp & Store
When “Bootp & Store” is selected, the parameters obtained from a Bootp
Server become the active parameters immediately. In addition, they are stored
to the non-volatile memory of the card. Thus, after a power cycle they are still
available. This enables a kind of “bootp once” configuration of the card.
Example: The user may not want to have a Bootp Server be active in his
network all the time. But on the other side, he may not have any other
configuration method than Bootp. In this case he starts the Bootp Server
temporarily, powers on the card using the initialization mode “Bootp &Store”,
