Using the BayStack 350 10/100 Autosense Switch
3-12
893-00992-B
BootP Always
This mode allows the switch to be managed only when configured with the IP 
address obtained from the BootP server.
When selected, this mode operates as follows:
The switch continues to broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an 
in-band IP address is set from the console terminal.
If the switch receives a BootP reply that contains an in-band IP address, the 
switch uses this new in-band IP address.
If the switch does not receive a BootP reply, the switch cannot be managed 
using the in-band IP address set from the console terminal.
If an IP address is not currently in use, these actions take effect immediately.
If an IP address is currently in use, these actions take effect only after the switch is 
reset or power cycled.
BootP Disabled
This mode allows the switch to be managed only by using the IP address set from 
the console terminal.
When selected, this mode operates as follows:
The switch does not broadcast BootP requests, regardless of whether an IP 
address is set from the console terminal.
The switch can be managed only by using the in-band IP address set from the 
console terminal.
These actions take effect after the switch is reset or power cycled, even if an IP 
address is not currently in use.
