UTOMATIC ONFIGURATION
This section contains some important points to note when using the
automatic IP configuration feature.
The dynamic nature of automatically configured IP information means
that a Switch may change its IP address whilst in use.
Your Switch has been tested to interoperate with DHCP and BOOTP
servers that use the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows NT4 Server
Sun Solaris v2.5.1
If you want DHCP or BOOTP to be the method for automatic
configuration, make sure that your DHCP or BOOTP servers are operating
normally before you power on your Switch.
An event log will be generated and an SNMP trap will be sent if any of
the following changes occur in the IP configuration:
IP address configuration is changed manually
IP address changes from Auto-IP to DHCP IP configuration
DHCP negotiates a change in the IP configuration from Auto-IP
BOOTP negotiates a change in the IP configuration
