Configuring Bootp - Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK ELH100 Installation And User Manual

Configuring BootP

The BootP protocol allows you to automatically configure the hub's IP
address information. Enabling this feature greatly speeds up device
configuration, especially when a large number of devices are installed.
A BootP server must be operating on the network and be properly
configured for this option to work. When this option is enabled, the hub
tries to obtain an IP address from a BootP server.
To configure BootP, do the following:
1. Select System Configuration Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Set the IP address under the New Setting field to 0.0.0.0. This
selection forces the hub to issue BootP requests when powered on.
