Quick Configuration
Overview | You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the | ||
| Management Card can operate on a network: | ||
| • | The IP address of the Management Card | |
| • | The subnet mask | |
| • | The default gateway | |
|
|
| If a default gateway is unavailable, use the |
|
|
| IP address of a computer located on the |
|
|
| same subnet as the Management Card that |
|
|
| is usually running. The Management Card |
|
|
| uses the default gateway to test the network |
|
|
| when traffic is very light. See “Watchdog |
|
| Note | Features” in the “Introduction” of the |
|
| Network Management Card User’s Guide | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| (.\doc\usrguide.pdf) for more information |
|
|
| about the watchdog role of the default |
|
|
| gateway. |
TCP/IP | Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings | ||
configuration | needed by the Management Card: | ||
methods | • | The APC Management Card Wizard (see “APC | |
|
| Management Card Wizard” on page 11) | |
| • | A DHCP or BOOTP server (see “BOOTP & DHCP | |
|
| configuration” on page 11) | |
| • | A local computer (see “Local access to the control | |
|
| console” on page 14) | |
| • | A networked computer (see “Remote access to the | |
|
| control console” on page 15) | |
