Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). By default, the Network

Management Card ignores DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the APC

cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following hexadecimal format:

Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43

where

–the first byte (01) is the code

– the second byte (04) is the length

– the remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie.

See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor

Specific Information option.

Note: To disable the requirement that a DHCP offer include the

APC cookie, clear the checkbox Require vendor specific cookie to

accept DHCP Address in the Web interface: Administration >

Network>TCP/IP>DHCP.

that port.

2. Use the provided serial cable (APC part number 940-0299) to connect the

selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow

control. Save the changes.
