Assigning The Ip Using Bootp Protocol - W&T 58620 Manual

Assigning the IP using BOOTP protocol

Many networks use BOOTP as predecessor of DHCP protocol
for centralized and dynamic assignment of IP addresses. The
factory default setting is for BOOTP turned off. You can activate
it e.g. by using WuTility The following parameters can be
assigned:
•
IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway address
1
To prevent unintended address assignments or changes,
we recommend deactivating the DHCP and BOOTP/RARP
protocols if they are not expressly used in the respective
network environment. LAN-Modem with incorrectly assigned IP
addresses can be easily found after the fact using the scan
function of the WuTility management tool and reconfigured.
2.4.1 Address reservation
BOOTP protocol is based on fixed reservations of fixed IP
addresses for particular Ethernet addresses. This means a LAN-
Modem connected to the network only gets an IP address if the
latter was previously stored in the BOOTP server. Check with
your system administrator for creating this reservation. The
Ethernet address of the LAN-Modem can be found on the
housing sticker.
