The switch does not broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an IP
address is set from the console terminal.
The switch can be managed only by using the in-band IP address set from the
console terminal.
When the IP data is entered from the console terminal, the data becomes the
in-band address of the switch and BootP requests are not broadcast. The
switch can be managed using this in-band IP address.
When the in-band IP address is not set from the console terminal, the switch
broadcasts BootP requests until it receives a BootP reply containing an
in-band IP address. If the switch does not receive a BootP reply that contains
an in-band IP address within 10 minutes, the switch uses the last in-band IP
address it received from a BootP server. This IP information is displayed in
the Last BootP column.
