2.5 System configuration via
BOOTP
When it is started up via BOOTP (bootstrap protocol), a Switch receives its
configuration in accordance with the "BOOTP process" flow chart (see fig.
13).
Note: In its delivery state, the Switch gets its configuration data from the
DHCP server.
Activate BOOTP to receive the configuration data (see on page 25 "Sys-
tem configuration via the Web-based interface") or see in the CLI:
Provide the BOOTP server with the following data for a Switch:
# /etc/bootptab for BOOTP-daemon bootpd
#
# gw -- gateway
# ha -- hardware address
# ht -- hardware type
# ip -- IP address
# sm -- subnet mask
# tc -- template
.global:\
:gw=0.0.0.0:\
:sm=255.255.240.0:
enable Switch to the Priviledged EXEC mode.
