BOOTP client configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 63, Ethernet 1/1 of Routeris connected to the LAN to obtain an IP address from the
DHCP server by using BOOTP.
Configuration procedure
The following describes only the configuration on Router serving as a client.
# Configure Ethernet 1/1 to dynamically obtain an IP address by using BOOTP.
<Router> system-view
[Router] interface ethernet 1/1
[Router-Ethernet1/1] ip address bootp-alloc
# Use the display bootp client command to view the IP address assigned to the BOOTP client.
NOTE:
To make the BOOTP client obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, you must perform additional
configurations on the DHCP server. For more information, see the chapter “DHCP server configuration.”
