Figure 6-8. IP Address Configuration screen
The fields listed under the Current Settings heading are those that
are presently being used by the Switch. Those fields listed under the
Restart Settings heading will be used after the Switch has been reset.
Fields that can be set include:
BOOTP Service Determines whether the Switch should send
out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The
BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and
default gateways to be assigned on a central BOOTP server; if
this option is set the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server
to provide it with this information before using the supplied
settings.
IP Address Determines the IP address used by the Switch for
receiving SNMP and Telnet communications. These fields
should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a
number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. This
address should be a unique address on a network assigned to
you by the central Internet authorities. The same IP address is
shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces.
