System Management Software Configuration Guide for Cisco IE 2000U and Connected Grid Switches
Chapter 2 Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway
Default Settings
– Subnet mask of the client (required)
– DNS server IP address (optional)
– Router IP address (default gateway address to be used by the switch) (required)
• If you want the switch to receive the configuration file from a TFTP server, you must configure the
DHCP server with these lease options:
– TFTP server name (required)
– Boot filename (the name of the configuration file that the client needs) (recommended)
– Hostname (optional)
Depending on the settings of the DHCP server, the switch can receive IP address information, the
configuration file, or both.
If you do not configure the DHCP server with the lease options described previously, it replies to client
requests with only those parameters that are configured. If the IP address and the subnet mask are not in
the reply, the switch is not configured. If the router IP address or the TFTP server name are not found,
the switch might send broadcast, instead of unicast, TFTP requests. Unavailability of other lease options
does not affect autoconfiguration.
The switch can act as a DHCP server. By default, the Cisco IOS DHCP server and relay agent features
are enabled on your switch but are not configured. These features are not operational. If your DHCP
server is a Cisco device, for additional information about configuring DHCP, see the IP Addressing:
DHCP Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15M&T.
