default for the class of the IP address. If a subnet mask is specified, it will be used 
as a net mask.
Default: 0.0.0.0
IP State
Display the following choices by highlighting IP State and pressing 
ENTER
:
IP Disabled
BootP When Needed
BootP Always 
Then highlight one of these choices and press 
ENTER
. The meaning of these values 
are as described in the following:
IP Disabled
—When a VLAN is IP-disabled, it will not process any IP or ARP 
packets it receives. This means that no Ping, Telnet, or ARP Packets will be 
responded to when received. SNMP management is only possible over MAC.
BootP When Needed
—In this state, the switch will send out BootP requests at 
regular intervals on all ports in the VLAN until the VLAN is assigned an IP 
address different from 0.0.0.0 or 192.0.2.1.
The assignment can come from NVRAM during a boot, from the console 
management or via BootP.
BootP Always
—In this state, the switch will at boot time clear the IP address 
assigned to this VLAN and send out BootP requests at regular intervals until it 
receives a BootP answer. Then normal IP communication will resume.
Note:
 For the default BRF the default IP State value is BootP when Needed. For 
all the other VLANs the default is IP Disabled
Send PING
Prompts you to enter an IP address to which the switch will attempt ping.
Note
! The configuration of the IP-address, default gateway etc. takes effect when 
you close the IP Configuration screen. This means that if any parameter has been 
changed you have to return to the Configuration menu and enter the IP 
Configuration 
screen before attempting to ping. Otherwise the old values will be 
used.
