IP Network Configuration
The ePDU supports either IPv4 or IPv6 addressing versions. After the Network Management Card is operating,
you must obtain the IP address.
In order to obtain the IPv4 address, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) must be enabled. When
enabled, the IPv4 settings are configured by the DHCP server. If the DHCP is disabled, the IPv4 settings are
manually configured by the user.
The IPv4 address can be obtained in four ways:
1.
The DHCP protocol can dynamically configure the IPv4 address, subnet mask, gateway address, and
Domain Name System (DNS) servers. This requires a short retrieval process.
2.
The IPv4 address can be configured using a more detailed manual process.
3.
The default IPv4 address can be manually entered.
4.
If a DHCP server cannot be reached, or no DHCP server in installed, a default IPv4 address is
automatically used.
With either the Web or Serial interface, the DHCP Control setting indicates whether the IPv4 address is
dynamically assigned by a DHCP server on the LAN. The setting is enabled by default, which means that the
IPv4 address is dynamically assigned by a DHCP server on the LAN. If it is disabled, the Network Management
Card uses a static IPv4 address. (For the Web interface operation, see Chapter 7, “Configure the IPv4 Settings”
on page 76. For the Serial interface operation, see Chapter 8, “Configure the IPv4 Settings” on page 86.)
