Quick Configuration

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Rack PDU. If the BOOTP server is properly configured, the Rack PDU’s default setting (DHCP & BOOTP) for BOOT Mode causes it to discover the BOOTP server.

If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on page 8, “Local access to the control console” on page 11, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 11 to configure TCP/IP settings.

1.Enter the Rack 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.

The MAC address is on the bottom of the Rack PDU and on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.

Note

2.When the Rack PDU reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.

If you specified a bootup file name, the Rack PDU attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Rack PDU assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.

If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Rack PDU can be configured remotely by using Telnet or by using the Web interface: user name and password are both apc, by default. See “Remote access to the control console” on page 11 for configuration instructions.

You must use the APC Management Card Wizard to create the bootup file. To create a bootup file, see the

See also BOOTP section in the Addendum.
