Allied Telesis AT-S24 - Manual (Page 44)

Managing a Switch
44
If you select Enable DHCP function, the switch will obtain its IP address
from a DHCP server on the network. If you select Disable DHCP
function, you must assign the IP address manually. The default for this
setting is disabled.
A change to the DHCP setting does not take affect on the switch until
the unit is reset.
Download password
This password is used as the destination filename when you are using
TFTP to update the AT-S24 firmware. For instructions on how to
download the firmware onto a switch, refer to Chapter 8, Upgrading
Switch Software and Configuration Files.
Note
This password is different from the Omega password. The Omega
password prevents unauthorized individuals from using the Omega
interface to change switch configuration settings. For instructions
on setting the Omega password, refer to Chapter 7, Configuring
the Omega Interface.
Config download password
This password is used when downloading configuration files from
one switch to another switch. The default password is config (all
lowercase). The Omega interface displays the password as a series of
asterisks.
For instructions on how to download a configuration file onto a
switch, refer to Chapter 8, Upgrading Switch Software and
Configuration Files.
