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

If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 9, “Local access to the control console” on page 12, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 13 to configure TCP/IP settings.

1.Enter the 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 back of the PDU or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.

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

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

If you did not specify a bootup file name, the PDU can be configured remotely by using Telnet or by using the Web interface: user name and password are both apc, by default.

To create a bootup file, see your

BOOTP server documentation.
