So i have a question about making changes to a 20 port, stratix 5700 full software version while the line is running.
The equipment is currently running as an unmanaged switch with no ip address assigned which raises the first question.
1. Can I use bootp to assign an ip address to the switch or do i have to use the express setup??
2. Once the ip address is assigned I need to add 2 vlan, one management and one local. can this be done with minimal interruption to the line? i know HOW to do it I'm wondering if i will need the line down to do this?
