10 Metered Rack Power Distribution Unit
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant
BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for
the
PDU. If the BOOTP server is properly
configured, the
PDU’s default setting (DHCP &
BOOTP) for TCP/IP configuration causes it to
discover the BOOTP server.
1. Enter the
PDU’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.
2. When the
PDU reboots, the BOOTP server
provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
If you specified a bootup file name, the PDU
attempts to transfer that file from the
BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The
PDU assumes all settings specified in the
bootup file.
If you did not specify a bootup file name,
the
PDU can be configured remotely by
using Telnet or by using the Web interface:
user name and password are both apc, by
default.
If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see
“APC Device IP Configuration
Wizard” on page 9, “Local access to
the control console” on page 12, or
“Remote access to the control console”
on page 13 to configure TCP/IP
settings.
For the MAC address, look on the back
of the PDU or on the Quality
Assurance slip included in the
package.
