Network Management Card
Network Menu
Menu Options
Overview The Network menu provides access to the options you use to configure
the Management Card’s network settings.
Note: Only an Administrator has access to the Network menu.
TCP/IP This option allows you to enable or disable BOOTP, and when BOOTP
is disabled, define the three TCP/IP settings that the Management Card
needs to operate on the network.
• The Management Card’s System IP address
• The subnet mask value
• The IP address of the Default Gateway
Note: For information about the watchdog role the Default
Gateway plays, see
The role of the Default Gateway
in resetting the network timer on page 5 ; for
information about how to configure the initial TCP/IP
settings when you install the Management Card, see the
Network Management Card Installation and Quick Start
Manual, provided in printed form and on the APC
Network Management Card utility CD
(.\doc\insguide.pdf).
When BOOTP is enabled (by default), you can only affect the BOOTP
setting: A BOOTP server will provide the Management Card with its
TCP/IP settings whenever the Management Card
is turned on, reset, or
rebooted.
Note: For information about how to use BOOTP, see the Network
Management Card Addendum provided on the APC Network
Management Card utility CD
( ./doc/adendum.pdf ).
DNS Use this option (which is combined with the Email option in the Web
Interface) to define the IP addresses of the primary and secondary
Domain Name Servers (DNS) used by the Management Card’s
Email
feature.
Note: For information about how to use the Email feature, see Email
Feature on page 50 ; for more information about the role of the
DNS servers, see DNS servers on page 50 .
