Advanced Configuration

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 Ethernet Switch Module acts as a
DHCP client. When the Ethernet Switch Module is reset, the DHCP command is saved in the
configuration file, but the IP address is not. To retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, perform
the following steps:
1
Select and connect any external 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.
Assigning Dynamic IP Addresses:
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet g11
console(config-if)# ip address dhcp hostname Ethernet Switch
