Establishing Network Settings
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Rack PDU can operate on
a network:
• IP address of the Rack PDU
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the Rack
PDU:
•
•
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer
that is located on the same subnet as the Rack PDU and that is
usually running. The Rack PDU uses the default gateway to test the
network when traffic is very light.
Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway
address for the Rack PDU. It disables the card and requires you to
reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.
