Defaulting to BootP-when-needed

The BootP default value is BootP-when-needed. The switch can boot and the system can
automatically seek a BootP server for the IP address.
If the device has an assigned IP address and the BootP process times out, the BootP mode
remains in the default mode BootP-when-needed.
However, if the device has no assigned IP address and the BootP process times out, the BootP
mode automatically changes to BootP disabled. This change to BootP disabled is not stored,
and the BootP reverts to the default value of BootP-when-needed after the device reboots.
When you upgrade the system, the switch retains the previous BootP value. When the switch
resets to default after an upgrade, the system moves to the default value of BootP-when-
needed.
