Default Gateway
BOOTP
The switch module will send out a BOOTP broadcast request
when it is turned on. The BOOTP protocol allows IP
addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be
assigned by a central BOOTP server. If this option is set, the
switch module will first look for a BOOTP server to provide
it with this information before using the default or previously
entered settings.
DCHP The switch module will send out a DCHP broadcast request
when it is turned on. The DCHP protocol allows IP
addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be
assigned by a DCHP server. If this option is set, the switch
will first look for a DCHP server to provide it with this
information before using the default or previously entered
settings.
Chapter 4. Configuration through the Web-Based network management module
Note: For switch communication with a remote
management station, such as the IBM Director
server, through the management module
external Ethernet port, the switch module
internal network interface and the
management module internal and external
interfaces must be on the same subnet.
The IP address that determines where packets with a
destination address outside the current subnet
should be sent. The IP address of the device is
usually the address of a router or a host acting as an
IP gateway to handle connections to other subnets
or other TCP/IP networks. If your network is not
part of an intranet, or you do not want the device to
be accessible outside your local network, you can
enter a value of 0.0.0.0 in this field.
