Verifying the BOOTP/DHCP Settings

Warning

If you have upgraded the firmware on an APC from version A.00.NN to B.00.NN, the
BOOTP/DHCP settings previously configured using version A.00.NN may be
displayed/configured improperly under version B.00.NN. For example, routed table
entries may be displayed in the non-routed table, and vice-versa. After upgrading an
APC from firmware version A.00.NN to B.00.NN, be sure to verify and if necessary,
correct the BOOTP/DHCP table entries listed in the APC web interface.

To verify the BOOTP/DHCP server settings:

1. In View Device tree, select System and then select the BOOTP/DHCP tab.

The BOOTP/DHCP Server Configuration screen (Figure 3-11) appears.

2. Verify the settings for Range 1 and Range 2 are as follows for IP address ranges

for routed and for non-routed systems. Set as documented in your APC
Configuration Worksheet (page 2-29). Typically, any changes to the IP address
scheme are made to the following fields:
• IP address range minimum
• IP address range maximum
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
Non-Routed Range 1 - Transceivers and Wireless Bedsides
• Enabled - CHECKED for non-routed ITS, UNCHECKED for routed ITS
• MAC address Base - 00:09:fb:06:00:00
• MAC address Mask - ff:ff:ff:0f:00:00
• IP address range minimum - 172.31.(n + 6).0
• IP address range maximum - 172.31.(n + 6).255
• Subnet mask - 255.255.248.0
• Default gateway - 172.31. (n + 3).0
• DNS server IP address - 0.0.0.0
Non-Routed Range 2 - Access Points
• Enabled - CHECKED for non-routed ITS, UNCHECKED for routed ITS
• MAC address Base - 00:09:fb:05:00:00
• MAC address Mask - ff:ff:ff:0f:00:00
• IP address range minimum - 172.31.(n + 2).128
• IP address range maximum - 172.31.(n + 2).255
• Subnet mask - 255.255.248.0
• Default gateway - 172.31. (n + 3).0
• DNS server IP address - 0.0.0.0
