3Com V7111 - Manual (Page 27)

8 Restore your PC’s IP address & subnet mask to what they originally were. If necessary,
restart your PC and re-access the V7111 via the Embedded Web Server with its new
assigned IP address.
Assigning an IP Address Using BootP
BootP procedure can also be performed using any standard compatible BootP
server.
You can also use BootP to load the auxiliary files to the V7111 (refer to the
product’s User’s Manual).
To assign an IP address using BootP, follow these 12 steps:
1 Open the BootP application (supplied with the software package).
2 Click on the Edit Clients icon;
the ‘Client Configuration’ screen is displayed.
3 Click on the Add New Client icon;
a client with blank parameters is displayed (
Figure 17 ).
4 In the ‘Client MAC’ field, enter the MAC address of the gateway. The MAC address is
printed on a label located on the base of the V7111.
5 Verify that the box to the right of the ‘Client MAC’ field is checked. This enables the
particular client in the BootP tool (if the client is disabled, no replies are sent to BootP
requests).
6 In the ‘Client Name’ field, enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to
remember which gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could refer to the
location of the gateway.
7 In the ‘IP’ field, enter the IP address you want to apply to the gateway. Use the normal
dotted decimal format.
8 In the ‘Subnet’ field, enter the subnet mask you want to apply to the gateway. Use the
normal dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is
incorrect, the gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is
applied.
9 In the ‘Gateway’ field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you do not know
the IP address for the default gateway, contact your network administrator.
10 Click Apply to save this entry to the list of clients.
11 Click OK; the ‘Client Configuration’ screen is closed.
12 Use the reset button (located on the V7111 rear panel) to physically reset the gateway
causing it to use BootP; the device changes its network parameters to the values
provided by the BootP.
