If the network administrator at a central site has configured the BOOTP 
server so that your SuperStack II bridge/router is a BOOTP client, then 
Internet addresses may have automatically been assigned during the 
automatic startup process. In this case, no action on your part is required. 
If you are responsible for configuring the boot configuration file on the 
BOOTP server so that automatic startup can take place, see Using 
Enterprise OS Software.

To verify whether an Internet address was assigned during the 
automatic startup process, enter:

If an Internet address is shown, then the SuperStack II bridge/router has 
been assigned that address. If an address was not assigned, the 
following message is displayed:

No IP address configured

For more information, or if you are unsure if an Internet address has 
been assigned, contact the network administrator at the central site or 
your network supplier.

Internet addresses are assigned for individual ports. To verify whether 
an Internet address was assigned to an individual port, use:

SHow !<port> -IP NETaddr

When the bridge/router is installed for the first time, BOOTP requests 
are sent from each connected port requesting a BOOTP server to 
provide the SuperStack II bridge/router port with its Internet address 
and other configuration information. The ports continue to send 
BOOTP requests until the request has been answered. Also, every time 
a path comes up, if no Internet address has been previously assigned to 
it, BOOTP requests are sent requesting a BOOTP server to provide an 
Internet address.

After your bridge/router has been installed for the first time, you can 
control how it handles BOOTP requests using parameters in the 
BOOTPC Service. For information on this service, see Reference for 
Enterprise OS Software.
