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 38, “Local access to the control console” on page 41, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 41 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 40.

Note

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the InfraStruXure PDU.

The BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to APC InfraStruXure PDUs. If a BOOTP server is unavailable,

Note see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 38, “Local access to the control console” on page 41, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 41 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.
