34 InfraStruXure 20kW System: Installation, Operation, and Maintenance

BOOTP & DHCP Configuration

The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the system’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).

With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the system attempts to discover a properly configured

server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then searches for 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 the Management

Card needs.

1. Enter the system’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.

2. When the system reboots, the

BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.

3. If you specified a bootup file name, the system will attempt to transfer that file from a

TFTP or

FTP server residing on the BOOTP server. The system will assume all settings specified in the

bootup file.

• If you did not specify a Bootup File Name, the system can be configured remotely by using

Telnet or by using the Web interface: User Name and Password are both apc, by default.

Note

The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or

BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to APC InfraStruXure

20kW Systems.

If these servers are unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on

page 33, “Control Console” on page 36, or “Remote access to the control

console” on page 36 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

For more information about using a server to configure a Management Card’s

TCP/IP settings, see “BOOTP” on this page or “DHCP” on page 35.

See the InfraStruXure 20kW System Quality Assurance slip for the MAC address.

Note

You must use the APC Management Card Wizard or the APC initialization

(*.ini) text-to-binary configuration (*.cfg) conversion utility, i2c300, to

create the bootup file.

To create a bootup file, see the BOOTP section in the Management Card

Addendum (.\doc\addendum.pdf).
