BOOTP client is described in the following section.
Configuring a VLAN Interface to Obtain the IP Address Using BOOTP
Perform the following configuration in VLAN Interface View.
Table 277 Configuring a VLAN Interface to Obtain the IP Address Using BOOTP
Operation
Configure VLAN interface to obtain an IP address
using BOOTP
Remove the configuration
By default, the VLAN interface cannot use BOOTP to get an IP address.
For further information on IP Address configuration, please refer to the Getting
Started Guide that accompanies your Switch.
After the above configuration, verify the effect of the configuration.

This section contains DHCP configuration information.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) offers dynamic IP address assignment.
DHCP works in Client-Server mode. With this protocol, the DHCP Client can
dynamically request configuration information and the DHCP server can configure the
information for the Client.
The DHCP relay serves as conduit between the DHCP Client and the server located on
different subnets. The DHCP packets can be relayed to the destination DHCP server
(or Client) across network segments. The DHCP clients on different networks can use
the same DHCP server. This is economical and convenient for centralized
management.
A typical DHCP application often contains a DHCP server and several clients (desktop
and laptop PCs). See Figure 65
