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). |
Note
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 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.
