Important Information about the Default Gateway

Observe the following when required to enter a default gateway for the Rack Monitor 200. (Refer to page 14.)

Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Rack Monitor 200 and that is usually running. The Rack Monitor 200 uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.

Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the Rack Monitor 200. It disables the card and requires you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.

For information about the role of the watchdog concerning the default gateway, see “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 User’s Guide. For details on how to access the user’s guide, see “Additional Documentation” on page 1.

How to Update the BOOTPTAB File

For the Rack Monitor 200 to automatically find a BOOTP server and acquire its TCP/IP settings, the network administrator must update the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server with the Rack Monitor 200 MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

•For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the Rack Monitor 200 or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.

•For the default gateway, see “Important Information about the Default Gateway” on this page.
