If you select the “bootp” or “dhcp” option, IP will be enabled but will not 
function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. You therefore 
need to use the “ip dhcp restart” command to start broadcasting service 
requests. Requests will be sent periodically in an effort to obtain IP 
configuration information. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP 
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)

If the “bootp” or “dhcp” option is saved to the startup-config file (step 6), 
then the switch will start broadcasting service requests as soon as it is 
powered on. 

To automatically configure the switch by communicating with BOOTP or 
DHCP address allocation servers on the network, complete the following 
steps:

1. From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” 

to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>. 

2. At the interface-configuration mode prompt, use one of the following 

commands:

•

To obtain IP settings via DHCP, type “ip address dhcp” and press 
<Enter>.

•

To obtain IP settings via BOOTP, type “ip address bootp” and 
press <Enter>.

3. Type “end” to return to the Privileged Exec mode. Press <Enter>.

4. Type “ip dhcp restart” to begin broadcasting service requests. 

Press <Enter>.

5. Wait a few minutes, and then check the IP configuration settings by 

typing the “show ip interface” command. Press <Enter>.
