Choose this mode to inform the
switch, at each startup, to obtain its

BootP request fails, the switch uses

information stored in the non volatile
memory.

Note: When you enter the IP address
in the In-Band IP Address field, and

an in-use default value for the In-Band
Subnet Mask field that is based on
the class of the IP address entered in
the In-Band IP Address field.
