Choosing a BootP Request Mode

The BootP Request Mode field in the IP Configuration screen allows you to
choose which method the switch uses to broadcast BootP requests:
• BootP Disabled
• BootP or Last Address
• BootP When Needed
• BootP Always
Note: Whenever the switch is broadcasting BootP requests, the BootP process
will time out if a reply is not received within (approximately) 7 minutes. When
the process times out, the BootP request mode automatically changes to BootP
Disabled mode. To restart the BootP process, change the BootP request mode
to any of the three following modes: BootP When Needed, BootP Always, or
to BootP or Last Address.
