Switched Rack PDU

Setting Description

Manual The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be configured manually.

Click Next>>, and enter the new values.

BOOTP A BOOTP server provides the TCP/IP settings. At 32-second intervals, the Rack PDU

requests network assignment from any BOOTP server:

• If it receives a valid response, it starts the network services.

• If it finds a BOOTP server, but a request to that server fails or times out, the Rack

PDU stops requesting network settings until it is restarted.

• By default, if previously configured network settings exist, and it receives no valid

response to five requests (the original and four retries), it uses the previously

configured settings so that it remains accessible.

Click Next>> to access the BOOTP Configuration page to change the number of

retries or the action to take if all retries fail

• Maximum retries: Enter the number of retries that will occur when no valid response

is received, or zero (0) for an unlimited number of retries.

• If retries fail: Select Use prior settings (the default) or Stop BOOTP request.

DHCP At 32-second intervals, the Rack PDU requests network assignment from any DHCP

server. By default, the number of retries is unlimited.

• If it receives a valid response, by default it requires the APC cookie from the DHCP

server in order to accept the lease and start the network services.

• If it finds a DHCP server, but the request to that server fails or times out, it stops

requesting network settings until it is restarted.

To change these values, click Next>> for the DHCP Configuration page

• Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address: Disable or enable the

requirement that the DHCP server provide the APC cookie.

• Maximum retries: Enter the number of retries that will occur when no valid response

is received, or zero (0) for an unlimited number of retries.

1. The default values for these three settings on the configuration pages generally do not need to be

changed:

•Vendor Class: APC

•Client ID: The MAC address of the Switched Rack PDU, which uniquely identifies it on the local

area network (LAN)

•User Class: The name of the application firmware module
