Activating the BOOTP and 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 and 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 40.
2. In the BOOTP/DHCP section, click either Enable to activate the client
software or Disable to disable it. The default is disabled.
3. Click Apply to activate your change on the switch.
Note
If you activated BOOTP/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 the switch and IP
address, that address is deleted and replaced by the IP address
received from the BOOTP/DHCP server.
4. Click Save Changes to permanently save your changes. (This button
is not displayed if there are no changes to save.)
