Important Information about the Default Gateway

Observe the following when required to enter a default gateway for the NetBotz 200. (Refer to page 13.)

Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on

the same subnet as the NetBotz 200 and that is usually running. The NetBotz 200 uses the

default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.

Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the

NetBotz 200. It disables the card and requires you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults

using a local serial login.

For information about the role of the watchdog concerning the default gateway, see

“Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 User’s Guide.

For details on how to access the user’s guide, see “Additional Documentation” on page 1.

Update the BOOTPTAB File

For the NetBotz 200 to automatically find a BOOTP server and acquire its TCP/IP settings, the network

administrator must update the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server with the NetBotz 200 MAC

address, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

• For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the NetBotz 200 or on the Quality Assurance slip

included in the package.

• For the default gateway, see “Important Information about the Default Gateway” on this page.
