Option Settings
TCP/IP
Use this option to enable or disable BOOTP, and when BOOTP is disabled,
to 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
When BOOTP is enabled (by default), you can affect only 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.
Current TCP/IP settings fields. The current values for System IP ,
Subnet Mask , Default Gateway , and the Management Card’s MAC
Address are displayed above the TCP/IP settings in the control console
and Web interface.
These options are combined in the Web interface (the TCP/IP
& DNS option) but separate in the control console.
For information about the watchdog role of the default
gateway, see
Resetting the network timer .
