Getting started fundamentals

Choosing a BootP request mode

The BootP Request Mode field lets you choose which method the switch uses to broadcast BootP
requests:
• BootP or Default IP
• BootP Always
• BootP Disabled
• BootP or Last Address
Important:
Whenever the switch is broadcasting BootP requests, the BootP process eventually times out if
a reply is not received. 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:
• always
• default-ip
• disable
• last

consists of an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters in length for the switch or stack. You can

tag affixed to the switch. You can configure the Asset ID with ACLI commands, or with EDM.
