Assigning an IP Address Using BootP

Tip 1:
Tip 2:
To assign an IP address using BootP, take these 13 steps:
1.
Open the BootP application (supplied with the MG 3200 software package).
2.
Click on the Edit Clients icon;
the 'Client Configuration' screen is displayed.
3.
Click on the Add New Client icon;
a client with blank parameters is displayed
4.
In the 'Client MAC' field, enter the MAC address of the gateway. The MAC address is printed
on a label located on the base of the MG 3200.
5.
Verify that the box to the right of the 'Client MAC' field is checked. This enables the particular
client in the BootP tool (if the client is disabled, no replies are sent to BootP requests).
6.
In the 'Client Name' field, enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to
remember which gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could refer to the
location of the gateway.
7.
In the 'IP' field, enter the IP address you want to assign the gateway. Use the normal dotted
decimal format.
8.
In the 'Subnet' field, enter the subnet mask you want to assign the gateway. Use the normal
dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is incorrect, the
gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is applied.
9.
In the 'Gateway' field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you do not know the IP
address for the default gateway, contact your network administrator.
10.
Click Apply to save this entry to the list of clients.
11.
Click OK; the 'Client Configuration' screen is closed.
Version SN09
Record and retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the MG 3200.
Do the same when defining new username or password. If the Embedded
Web Server is unavailable (for example, if you've lost your username and
password), use the BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the device,
"reflash" the load and reset the password (refer to the MG 3200 User's
Manuals for detailed information on using a BootP/TFTP configuration utility
to access the device).
BootP procedure can also be performed using any standard compatible
BootP server.
You can also use BootP to load the auxiliary files to the MG 3200 (refer to the
MG 3200 User's Manual).
