Quick Configuration
Overview
Note: Disregard the procedures described in this chapter if you have APC InfraStruxure
®
Central as part of your system. See the documentation for your device for more information.
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the RDU can operate on a network:
• IP address of the RDU
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on
the same subnet as the RDU and that is usually running. The RDU uses the default gateway to
test the network when traffic is very light.
Note: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the
RDU. It disables the card and requires you to reset the TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a
local serial login.
See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the Rack PDU User’s Guide for more
information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the RDU:
• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 1.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP and DHCP configuration” on page 1.)
• Networked computer (See “Local access to the command line interface” on page 1 or “Remote
access to the command line interface” on page 1.)
