BOOTP & DHCP
configuration
The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the PDU’s Network menu,
identifies how TCP/IP settings will be defined. The possible settings are
Manual, DHCP only, BOOTP only, and DHCP & BOOTP (the
default setting).
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the PDU attempts to
discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP
server, and then a DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it discovers a
BOOTP or DHCP server.
Note
If you leave the Start a Web browser when finished
option enabled, you can use apc for both the user name
and password to access the PDU through your browser.
Note
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly
configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide
TCP/IP settings to the APC PDU. If these servers are
unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on this
page, “Local access to the control console” on page 12, or
“Remote access to the control console” on page 12 to
configure the TCP/IP settings.
For more information, see “BOOTP” on page 10 or
“DHCP” on page 11.
