USER’S GUIDE

When Boot mode is set to DHCP & BOOTP, two options are available:

•After IP Assignment in the control console (or Remain in DHCP & BOOTP mode after accepting TCP/IP settings in the Web interface): By default, this option switches Boot mode to the selection based on the server that provided the TCP/IP settings (DHCP Only or BOOTP Only).

•DHCP Cookie Is in the control console (or Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address in the Web interface): By default, this option requires that the DHCP responses include the APC cookie in order to be valid.

For more information about the APC cookie, see DHCP response options.

When Boot mode is set to DHCP Only, two options are available:

•DHCP Cookie Is in the control console (or Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address in the Web interface): By default, this option requires that the DHCP responses include the APC cookie in order to be valid.

•Retry Then Stop in the control console (Maximum # of Retries in the Web interface), This option sets the number of times the Management Card will repeat the DHCP request if it does not receive a valid response. The default setting (0 in the Web interface, None in the control console), requires that the Management Card continuously send out DHCP requests until a valid DHCP response is received.
