BOOTP client configuration example

As shown in Figure 17, Switch B's port belonging to VLAN 1 is connected to the LAN. VLAN-interface 1 obtains an IP address from the DHCP server by using BOOTP.

The following describes only the configuration on Switch B serving as a client.

# Configure VLAN-interface 1 to dynamically obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.

<SwitchB> system-view
[SwitchB] interface vlan-interface 1
[SwitchB-Vlan-interface1] ip address bootp-alloc

# Use the display bootp client command to view the IP address assigned to the BOOTP client.

	NOTE: To make the BOOTP client obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, you must perform additional configurations on the DHCP server. For more information, see the chapter "DHCP server configuration."
