BOOTP & DHCP
configuration
The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the Rack PDU’s Network
menu, identifies how TCP/IP settings will be defined. The possible
settings are Manual, DHCP only, BOOTP only, and DHCP &
BOOTP (the default setting).
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the Rack PDU attempts to
discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP
server, and then a DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it discovers a
BOOTP or DHCP server.
Note
If you leave the Start a Web browser when finished
option enabled, you can use apc for both the user name
and password to access the Rack PDU through your
browser.
Note
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly
configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide
TCP/IP settings to the Rack PDU. If these servers are
unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on this
page, “Local access to the control console” on page 11, or
“Remote access to the control console” on page 11 to
configure the TCP/IP settings.
For more information, see “BOOTP” on page 9 or “DHCP”
on page 10.
