BOOTP Server
If your site uses a fixed IP address scheme, you can use the BOOTP server feature to
assign IP addresses to voice switches. This is accomplished from the BOOTP Server
edit page (Figure 2-9), which is invoked by clicking the BOOTP Server link from
under System Parameters in the navigation frame. Please refer to the ShoreTel 7.5
Planning and Installation Guide for more information on assigning IP addresses.
Figure 2-9 BOOTP Server Edit Page
NOTE
The BOOTP server sends an IP address when requested by a ShoreGear voice
switch whose MAC address is defined in the server’s table. When setting up the
BOOTP server’s table, you enter each voice switch’s MAC address and associate it
with an IP address.
NOTE The subnet mask and default gateway addresses may change for ShoreGear voice
switches on other subnets in WAN environments.
The columns in the table on the BOOTP Server edit page are as follows:
Ethernet Address This is a list of MAC addresses that are available for
configuring your ShoreGear voice switches.
IP Address This is a list of IP addresses that are available for
configuring your ShoreGear voice switches.
Subnet Mask This is your network’s subnet mask.
Default Gateway This is typically set to the IP address of the nearest
router that is configured to other configured
switches and the ShoreWare server.
