BootP Always
This mode field setting allows the switch to be managed only when configured
with the IP address obtained from the BootP server.
When selected, this field operates as follows:
• The switch continues to broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an
in-band IP address is set from the console terminal.
• If the switch receives a BootP reply that contains an in-band IP address, the
switch uses this new in-band IP address.
• If a reply is not received, the switch cannot be managed with the in-band IP
address set from the console terminal.
If an IP address is not currently in use, these actions take effect immediately.
If an IP address is currently in use, these actions take effect only after the switch is
reset or power cycled.
BootP Disabled
This mode field setting allows the switch to be manageable only by using the IP
address set from the console terminal.
When selected, this field operates as follows:
• The switch does not broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an IP
address is set from the console terminal.
• The switch is manageable only when using the in-band IP address set from
the console terminal.
These actions take effect after the switch is reset or power cycled, even if an IP
address is not currently in use.
