Switched Rack PDU
110
Boot Mode
Introduction
Overview
In addition to using a BOOTP server or manual settings, the Switched Rack
PDU can use a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to
provide the settings that it needs to operate on a TCP/IP network.
The method used to provide the network settings for the Rack PDU
depends on Boot mode, a TCP/IP option in the Network menu. To use a
DHCP server to provide the network assignment for the Rack PDU, Boot
mode must be set either to DHCP & BOOTP, its default setting, or DHCP
only.
