76 CHAPTER 9: USING AUTOMATIC IP CONFIGURATION Important Considerations This section contains some important points to note when using the automatic IP configuration feature. The dynamic nature of automatically configured IP information means that a Switch may change its IP address whilst in use. Server Support Your Switch has been tested to interoperate with DHCP and BOOTP servers that use the following operating systems: ■ Microsoft Windows 2000 Server ■ Microsoft Windows NT4 Server ■ Sun Solaris v2.5.1 If you want DHCP or BOOTP to be the method for automatic configuration, make sure that your DHCP or BOOTP servers are operating normally before you power on your Switch. Event Log Entries and Traps An event log will be generated and an SNMP trap will be sent if any of the following changes occur in the IP configuration: ■ IP address configuration is changed manually ■ IP address changes from Auto-IP to DHCP IP configuration ■ DHCP negotiates a change in the IP configuration from Auto-IP ■ BOOTP negotiates a change in the IP configuration
