Using DHCP/BOOTP

If your network provides DHCP/BOOTP services, you can configure the

switch to be dynamically configured by these services.

Web – Click System, IP Configuration. Specify the VLAN to which the

management station is attached, set the IP Address Mode to DHCP or

BOOTP. Click Apply to save your changes. Then click Restart DHCP to

immediately request a new address. Note that the switch will also broadcast

a request for IP configuration settings on each power reset.

Figure 3-7 IP Interface Configuration - DHCP

Note: If you lose your management connection, make a console

connection to the Master unit and enter “show ip interface” to

determine the new stack address.

CLI – Specify the management interface, and set the IP address mode to

DHCP or BOOTP, and then enter the “ip dhcp restart” command.
