switch bootp request

[a.mir]

I connected a 2900 switch in my office couple days ago for more port density, it works good, but it is sending bootp request to one the internal vlans every 30 seconds. switch is not configured with any ip. is there a way to turn off bootp.please help.

Thanks.

nick,

its a 2924 switch, its not giving me the option to apply the suggested two commands.what if i assign a ip address to the vlan1 interface in that vlan, would it take care of it.

The managment interface of the switch is attempting to find an IP address via bootp since you have not assigned one. Easiest way to stop this behavior is to assign an IP address to the management interface.
