• You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by entering an

ip dhcp restart command, or by rebooting the switch.

Note: Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the

default is VLAN 1.) This defines the management VLAN, the only

VLAN through which you can gain management access to the

switch. If you assign an IP address to any other VLAN, the new IP

address overrides the original IP address and this becomes the new

management VLAN.

Example

In the following example, the device is assigned an address in VLAN 1.

Command Usage

• DHCP requires the server to reassign the client’s last address if

available.

• If the BOOTP or DHCP server has been moved to a different

domain, the network portion of the address provided to the client will

be based on this new domain.
