- where
dhcp
– look only for DHCP servers on the network for the IP address. Disable
bootp or other modes
bootp
– look only for bootp servers on the network. Disable dhcp or other mode
manual
– do not set the IP address automatically
auto
- the switch will first look for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not found,
it will then look for a BootP server. If that server is not found, the switch will
check to see if the switch had a pre-configured IP address. If it did, the switch
would be assigned that IP address. If the switch did not have a pre-configured
IP address, it would inspect if the IP address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of
255.255.255.0 is free. If the IP address is free, MNS-6K will assign the switch
that IP address. If the address is not free, MNS-6K will poll the network for
DHCP server then BootP server then check if the IP address 192.68.1.2 is freed
up
bootimg=<enable|disable>
- valiad with type=bootp only. Allows the switch to load
the image file from the BootP server. This is useful when a new switch is put on a
network and the IT policies are set to load only a specific MNS-6Kimage which is
supported and tested by IT personnel.
bootcfg=<enable|disable>
- valiad with type=bootp only. Allows the switch to load
the configuration file from the BootP server. This is useful when a new switch is put
on a network and the specific configurations are loaded from a centralized BootP
server
