D-Link DXS-3250/DXS-3227P/DXS-3227 User Guide -------10.7.1.1 -----Static Active IP address Interface Type Directed Broadcast -------- 10.7.1.192/24 VLAN 1 Static Notes: 1. The device configuration does not have to be deleted to retrieve an IP address for the DHCP server. 2. When copying configuration files, avoid using a configuration file that contains an instruction to enable DHCP on an interface that connects to the same DHCP server, or to one with an identical configuration. In this instance, the switch retrieves the new configuration file and boots from it. The device then enables DHCP as instructed in the new configuration file, and the DHCP instructs it to reload the same file again. Receiving an IP Address From a BOOTP Server The standard BOOTP protocol is supported and enables the switch to automatically download its IP host configuration from any standard BOOTP server in the network. In this case, the device acts as a BOOTP client. To retrieve an IP address from a BOOTP server: 1. Select and connect any port to a BOOTP server or subnet containing such a server, to retrieve the IP address. 2. At the system prompt, enter the delete startup configuration command to delete the startup configuration from flash. The device reboots with no configuration and in 60 seconds starts sending BOOTP requests. The device receives the IP address automatically. Note When the device reboot begins, any input at the ASCII terminal or keyboard automatically cancels the BOOTP process before completion and the device does not receive an IP address from the BOOTP server. The following example illustrates the process: Console> enable Console# delete startup-config Startup file was deleted Console# reload You haven't saved your changes. Are you sure you want to continue (y/n)[n]? This command will reset the whole system and disconnect your current session.Do you want to continue (y/n)[n the device reboots */ To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface command. The device is now configured with an IP address. Security Management and Password Configuration System security is handled through the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) mechanism that manages user access rights, privileges, and management methods. AAA uses both local and remote user databases. Data encryption is handled through the SSH mechanism. The system is delivered with no default password configured; all passwords are user-defined. If a user-defined password is lost, a password recovery procedure can be invoked from the Startup menu. The procedure is appli- Page 37
