4.5.3 Assigning the IP address via BootP
After assigning an IP address via BootP, the FL MGUARD can no longer be accessed via
IP address 192.168.1.1
For IP address assignment, the mGuard uses the BootP protocol. The IP address can also
be assigned via BootP. On the Internet, numerous BootP servers are available. You can use
any of these programs for address assignment.
Section 14.1 explains IP address assignment using the free Windows software
"IP Assignment Tool" (IPAssign.exe).
Notes for BootP
During initial startup, the mGuard transmits BootP requests without interruption until it re-
ceives a valid IP address. After receiving a valid IP address, the mGuard no longer sends
BootP requests. The FL MGUARD can then no longer be accessed via IP address
192.168.1.1.
After receiving a BootP reply, the mGuard no longer sends BootP requests, not even after
it has been restarted. For the mGuard to send BootP requests again, it must either be set to
the default settings or one of the procedures (recovery or flash) must be performed.
Requirements
The mGuard is connected to a computer using a Microsoft Windows operating system.
