Communication Configuration
BOOTP & DHCP configuration
The Boot Mode Setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU’s Network menu, identifies how the 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 InfraStruXure PDUs. If these servers
Note are unavailable, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 46, “Local access to the control console” on page 49, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 49 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the InfraStruXure PDU attempts to discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.
For more information, see “BOOTP” on this page or “DHCP” on page 48.

Note see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 46, “Local access to the control console” on page 49, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 49 to configure the TCP/IP settings.
1.Make sure that the BOOTP setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU’s Network menu, is enabled.
2.Enter the InfraStruXure PDU’s MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and default gateway settings, and an optional Bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.
For the MAC address, look on the Quality Assurance slip included with the
InfraStruXure PDU.
