This section provides information about dynamic allocation of IP addresses and security management based
on the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) mechanism, and includes the following topics:
•
Configuring IP Addresses through DHCP
•
Configuring IP Addresses through BOOTP
•
Security Management and Password Configuration
When configuring/receiving IP addresses through DHCP and BOOTP, the configuration received from these
servers includes the IP address, and may include subnet mask and default gateway.
Retrieving an IP Address From a DHCP Server
When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the device acts as a DHCP client. When the device
is reset, the DHCP command is saved in the configuration file, but not the IP address. To retrieve an IP
address from a DHCP server, perform the following steps:
1 Select and connect any port to a DHCP server or to a subnet that has a DHCP server on it, in order to
retrieve the IP address.
2 Enter the following commands to use the selected port for receiving the IP address. In the following
example, the commands are based on the port type used for configuration.
