configuration

The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the Management

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 Management Cards.

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.

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to

configure the TCP/IP settings for the Management Card.

1. Make sure that the BOOTP only setting, a TCP/IP

option in the Management Card’s Network menu, is

enabled

2. Enter the Management Card’s MAC and IP addresses,

the subnet mask and default gateway settings, and an

optional bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the

BOOTP server.

If these servers are unavailable, see “APC

Management Card Wizard” on this page, “Local

access to the control console” on page 15, or

“Remote access to the control console” on

page 15 to configure the needed TCP/IP

settings.

For more information, see “BOOTP” on page 12

or “DHCP” on page 14.

Note

The BOOTP only setting assumes that a properly

configured BOOTP server is available to provide

TCP/IP settings to APC Network Management

Cards.

If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC

Management Card Wizard” on page 11, “Local

access to the control console” on page 15, or

“Remote access to the control console” on page 15

to configure the TCP/IP settings.
