Bouncing a Client Using SNMP
This page is used to initiate a bounce operation using SNMP with wired Ethernet switches.
Requirements
To bounce a client using SNMP successfully, the following conditions are mandatory:

configured.
l SNMP traps (link up and/or MAC notification) have to be enabled on the switch port.
l The DHCP snooper service on Policy Manager must receive DHCP packets from the endpoint to specify the
IP address of the endpoint to bounce. Refer to your network device documentation to find out how to
configure IP helper address.
Perform the following steps to bounce a client using SNMP:
1. Enter the client IP or MAC Address.
2. Click Go.
