BOOTP & DHCP | The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the Management |
configuration | Card’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 APC Network Management Cards. If these servers are unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on page 11, “Local access to the control
Note | console” on page 14, or “Remote access to the |
| |
| control console” on page 15 to configure the |
| needed TCP/IP settings. |
With Boot Mode set to DHCP&BOOTP, the 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.
For more information about using a server to configure a Management Card’s TCP/IP settings, see “BOOTP” on page 12 or “DHCP” on page 13.
