Activating the BOOTP or DHCP Client Software
For background information on BOOTP and DHCP, refer to Chapter 3,
“Basic Switch Parameters,” in the AT-S63 Management Software Menus
Interface User’s Guide.
To activate or deactivate the BOOTP or DHCP client software on the
switch from a web browser management session, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the home page, select Configuration.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by default,
as shown in Figure 5 on page 38.
2. In the Configuration section, for the BOOTP/DHCP parameter, click
one of the following:
Enable DHCP
Enables DHCP.
Enable BOOTP
Enables BOOTP.
Disable
Disables both DHCP and BOOTP. This is the correct setting if you
want to enter a static IP address for the switch or do not want to assign
the switch an IP address. The default is disabled.
3. Click Apply to activate your change on the switch.
Note
If you enabled BOOTP or DHCP, the switch immediately begins to
query the network for a BOOTP or DHCP server. The switch
continues to query the network for its IP configuration until it
receives a response. If you manually assigned an IP address to the
switch, that address is deleted and replaced by the IP address
received from the BOOTP or DHCP server.
4. From the Configuration menu, select the Save Config option to
permanently save your changes. (This option is not displayed if there
are no changes to save.)
