Notes: 1. The device configuration does not have to be deleted to retrieve an IP
address for the DHCP server.
2.
When copying configuration files, avoid using a configuration file that
contains an instruction to enable DHCP on an interface that connects to the
same DHCP server, or to one with an identical configuration. In this instance,
the switch retrieves the new configuration file and boots from it. The device
then enables DHCP as instructed in the new configuration file, and the
DHCP instructs it to reload the same file again.

Receiving an IP Address From a BOOTP Server

The standard BOOTP protocol is supported and enables the switch to automatically
download its IP host configuration from any standard BOOTP server in the network.
In this case, the device acts as a BOOTP client.
To retrieve an IP address from a BOOTP server:
1. Select and connect any port to a BOOTP server or subnet containing such a
server, to retrieve the IP address.
2. At the system prompt, enter the delete startup configuration command to delete
the startup configuration from flash. The device reboots with no configuration
