BOOTP & DHCP configuration
The Boot Mode Setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU’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 InfraStruXure PDU 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
InfraStruXure PDU.
1. Make sure that the BOOTP setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU’s Network
menu, is enabled.
2. Enter the InfraStruXure PDU’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.
Note
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP
server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to InfraStruXure PDUs. If these servers
are unavailable, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 38, “Local access to the
control console” on page 42, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 42 to
configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
Note
For more information, see “BOOTP” on this page or “DHCP” on page 40.
Note
The BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured BOOTP server is available to
provide TCP/IP settings to APC InfraStruXure PDUs. If a BOOTP server is unavailable,
see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 38, “Local access to the control console”
on page 42, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 42 to configure the TCP/
IP settings.
