Chapter 4 Set Up Your EtherNet/IP Network
• The processor broadcasts a BOOTP-request message containing its
hardware address over the local network or subnet.
• The BOOTP server compares the hardware address with the addresses in
its look-up table.
• The BOOTP server sends a message back to the processor with the IP
address and other network information that corresponds to the hardware
address it received.
With all hardware and IP addresses in one location, you can change IP addresses
in the BOOTP configuration file if your network needs changed.
The BOOTP request can be disabled by clearing the BOOTP Enable parameter
in the Port Configuration tab. When BOOTP Enable is cleared (disabled), the
SmartGuard controller uses the existing channel configuration data.
Use the Rockwell BOOTP Utility
The Rockwell BOOTP utility is a standalone program that incorporates the
functionality of standard BOOTP software with a user-friendly graphical
interface. You can download it from http://www.rockwellautomation.com/
rockwellsoftware/download/. The device must have BOOTP enabled (factory
default) to use the utility.
To configure your device by using the BOOTP utility, perform the following
steps.
1. Run the BOOTP software.
IMPORTANT When BOOTP protocol is used to set the IP address in a SmartGuard
controller, the SmartGuard controller must receive an initial IP address from
the server before the BOOTP protocol can be turned off. It can be disabled
by using the Module Configuration function in RSLinx software.
