For information on a stack MAC address, see Chapter 2.

For more information and an example of a BootP configuration file, see 
Appendixes.

The Business Policy Switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate 
in any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network. 

You must assign an IP address to the switch or stack, depending on the mode of 
operation. You can set both addresses by using the console port or BootP, which 
resides on the switch. You can manage the switch using:

•

Console interface

The console interface (CI) allows you to configure and manage the switch 
locally or remotely. Access the CI menus and screens locally through a 
console terminal attached to your Business Policy Switch, remotely through a 
dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a Telnet session.

For information about the console interface, refer to Chapter 3.

•

Web-based management

You can manage the network from the World Wide Web. Access the 
Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) through the HTML-based browser 
located on your network. The GUI allows you to configure, monitor, and 
maintain your network through Web browsers. You can also download 
software using the Web.

Management for the Business Policy Switch 2000
