| Warning information. | ||
Overview | You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Rack PDU | ||
| can operate on a network: | ||
•IP address of the Rack PDU
•Subnet mask
•Default gateway
Note
See also
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Rack PDU and that is usually running. The Rack PDU uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the 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:
•APC Management Card Wizard (See “APC Management Card Wizard” on page 8.)
•BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 8.)
•Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 11.)
