BOOTP & DHCP
configuration
The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the Management
Card’s Network menu, identifies how the
TCP/IP settings will
be defined. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP only,
BOOTP only, and DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting).The
DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured
DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP
settings to Management Cards.
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the Management
Card attempts to discover a properly configured server. It first
searches for a BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats
this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to
configure the TCP/IP settings for the Management Card.

option in the Management Card’s Network menu, is
enabled
2. Enter the Management Card’s MAC and IP addresses,
the subnet mask and default gateway settings, and an
optional bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the
BOOTP server.
If these servers are unavailable, see “APC
Management Card Wizard” on this page, “Local

If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC
Management Card Wizard” on page 11, “Local
access to the control console” on page 15, or
