Release Notes for BayStack Operating System Switching Software (BoSS) 3.1
Defaulting to BootP-when-needed
The BootP default value is now BootP-when-needed. This allows you to boot your
switch and the system will automatically seek a BootP server for the IP address.
When you upgrade, the switch retains the previous BootP value. When you default
the switch after the upgrade, the system moves to the default value of
BootP-when-needed.
Configuring with NNCLI
This section covers the following topics:

ip bootp server command
The ip bootp server command configures BootP on the current instance of
the switch or server. You use this command if you want to change the value of
BootP from the default value, which is BootP when needed.The syntax for the
ip
bootp server command is:
ip bootp server {always|disable|last|needed}
The ip bootp server command is in the config command mode.
Note: If an IP address is assigned to the device and the BootP process
times out, the BootP mode remains the default mode of
BootP-when-needed.
However, if the device does not have an assigned IP address and the
BootP process times out, the BootP mode automatically changes to BootP
disabled. But this change to BootP disabled is not stored, and the BootP
reverts to the default value of BootP-when-needed after rebooting the
device.
