4. Press the Enter key. The Configuration menu is displayed.
5. Highlight Configure IP Address from the Configuration menu.
6. Press the Enter key. The Remote Management Setup screen is displayed.
The Remote Management Setup screen lets you specify how the GbE Interconnect
Switch will be assigned an IP address, which allows an in-band network management
system (for example, Telnet) client to find it on the network.
The fields listed under the Current Switch IP Settings heading are those that are
currently being used by the GbE Interconnect Switch.
7. Toggle the Get IP From field to choose from Manual, BOOTP, or DHCP. This action
selects how the GbE Interconnect Switch will be assigned an IP address.
— BOOTP—The GbE Interconnect Switch sends out a BOOTP broadcast request. 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 GbE Interconnect
Switch first looks for a BOOTP server to provide it with this information.
— DHCP—The GbE Interconnect Switch sends out a DHCP broadcast request. The
DHCP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be
assigned by a DHCP server. If this option is set, the GbE Interconnect Switch first
looks for a DHCP server to provide it with this information.
