Instruction manual

Using the BayStack Model 350T 10/100 Autosense Switch
3-12 893-00992-A
BootP or Last Address
This mode field setting allows the switch to continue to be manageable, even
though a BootP server may not currently be reachable.
When selected, this field operates as follows:
• When the IP data is entered from the console terminal, the entered data
becomes the in-band address of the switch, and BootP requests are not
broadcast. The switch can be managed using this in-band IP address.
• When the in-band IP address is not set from the console terminal, the switch
broadcasts BootP requests until a BootP reply containing an in-band IP
address is received. If the switch does not receive a BootP reply that contains
an in-band IP address within 10 minutes, the switch uses the last in-band IP
address that was received from a BootP server. This IP information is
displayed under the Last BootP column header.
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 powe cycled.
