ENABLE DHCPBOOTP
Syntax
enable dhcpbootp
Parameters
None.
Description
This command activates the DHCP and BOOTP client software on the
switch. When activated, this software instruct the switch to obtain its IP
configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP server on your network, whenever
the unit is power cycled or reset. The switch will make continuous
requests for its IP configuration until a DHCP or BOOTP server responds.
If you have assigned the switch an IP address manually, the address is
discarded when DHCP and BOOTP are activated.
The default setting for the DHCP and BOOTP client software is disabled.
Note
You cannot manually assign an IP address or subnet mask to a
switch once the DHCP and BOOTP client software have been
activated. To disable DHCP and BOOTP, refer to the DISABLE
DHCPBOOTP command.

The following command activates the DHCP and BOOTP client software:
