BOOTP & DHCP | The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the Switched Rack PDU’s | |
configuration | 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). | |
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to the APC Switched Rack PDU. If these
Note servers are unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on page 7, “Local access to the control console” on page 10, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 10 to configure the TCP/IP settings.
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the Switched Rack 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.
For more information, see “BOOTP” on page 8 or “DHCP” on page 9.
