This option displays any current IPv4 address, subnet mask, default gateway, MAC address, and boot mode of
the UPS Network Management Card 3 (NMC). Use the lower part of the screen to configure those settings,
including disabling IPv4.
For information on DHCP and DHCP options, see RFC2131 and RFC2132.
*
Vendor Class: APC
Client ID: The MAC address of the device. If you change this value, the new value must be unique on the LAN.
Option Description
Manual Specify your IPv4 address, subnet mask, default gateway here.
BOOTP*
At 32-second intervals, the device requests network assignment from any BOOTP
server:
• If it receives a valid response, it starts the network services.
• If previously configured network settings exist, and it receives no valid response to
five requests (the original and four retries), by default it uses those previously
configured settings. This ensure that it remains accessible if a BOOTP server is no
longer available.
• If it finds a BOOTP server, but the request to that server does not work or times out,
the device stops requesting network settings until it is restarted.
DHCP*
At 32-second intervals, the device requests network assignment from any DHCP
server:
• If a DHCP server is found, but the request to that server does not work or times out,
it stops requesting network settings until it is restarted.
• Optionally, you can set up the device with Require vendor specific cookie to
accept DHCP Address in order to accept the lease and start the network services.
See “DHCP response options”.
