BOOTP and DHCP configuration

TCP/IP Configuration, which you access by selecting the Administration tab, the Network option on the top menu bar, and TCP/IP on the left navigation menu, identifies how the TCP/IP settings will be defined. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP, BOOTP, and DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting).

Note: The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to the Network Management Card.

With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting), the Network Management Card 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.

See “BOOTP” on this page or “DHCP” on page 63 for configuration information.

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Network Management Card.

1.Enter the Network Management Card 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.

Note: For the MAC address, look on the nameplate of the equipment. The MAC address is also available on the display interface.
