Receiving An Ip Address From A Bootp Server - D-Link xStack DXS-3250E Web/Installation Manual

DXS-3227, DXS-3227P, DXS-3250 and DXS-3250E EWS User Guide
• Assigning Dynamic IP Addresses:
configure
console#
console(config)#
console(config-if)#
The interface receives the IP address automatically.
3. To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface command at the system prompt as shown in the following
example.
show ip interface
Console#
Gateway IP Address Activity status
-------- ---------------
10.6.41.97 Active
IP address I?F
------------- ---------
10.6.41.101/27 VLAN 1
Notes: 1. The device configuration does not have to be deleted to retrieve an IP address for the DHCP server.
2. When copying configuration files, avoid using a configuration file that contains an instruction to enable DHCP on an
interface that connects to the same DHCP server, or to one with an identical configuration. In this instance, the
switch retrieves the new configuration file and boots from it. The device then enables DHCP as instructed in the
new configuration file, and the DHCP instructs it to reload the same file again.

Receiving an IP Address From a BOOTP Server

The standard BOOTP protocol is supported and enables the switch to automatically download its IP host configuration
from any standard BOOTP server in the network. In this case, the device acts as a BOOTP client.
To retrieve an IP address from a BOOTP server:
1. Select and connect any port to a BOOTP server or subnet containing such a server, to retrieve the IP address.
2. At the system prompt, enter the delete startup configuration command to delete the startup configuration from flash.
The device reboots with no configuration and in 60 seconds starts sending BOOTP requests. The device receives
the IP address automatically.
Note
When the device reboot begins, any input at the ASCII terminal or keyboard automatically cancels the
BOOTP process before completion and the device does not receive an IP address from the BOOTP
server.
