InfraStruXure C entral as pa rt of your s ystem. S ee the do cumentat ion
for your InfraStruXure device for more information.
Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the appliance can
operate on a network:
• IP address of the appliance
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
Note: If a default gateway is unava ilable, use the IP address
of a computer that is lo cated on the same subnet as the
appliance and that is usu ally running . The applianc e u ses the
default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
Obtain network settings using DHCP
By default, your appliance obtains its ne twork settings using DHCP. When you
connect the appliance to your network and apply power to the unit, it
automatically attempts to contact a DHCP server. The appliance waits 30
seconds for a respons e. If the DHCP serve r is c onfi gured t o pro vide a host name,
the appliance requests either its configured hostname or netbotzxxxxxx
(where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the MAC address of the appliance) as a
hostname associated with the IP address granted by the DHCP server. This
enables you to use a Web browser to connect to the appliance using the address
http://netbotzxxxxxx without any addition al configuration. The appliance also
requests DNS server add resse s, a DNS dom ai n, SMTP serv er add ress es, and
NTP server addresses from the DHCP server.
Install the serial configuration utility and other programs . The APC
Serial Configuration Utility is a Java
network sett ings on your APC appli ance. Use the Net Botz Appliance Utility CD
to install the Serial Configuration Utility, as well as the Advanced View (the
monitoring and management console for your NetBotz appliance) and the Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system.
Note: The Java Runtime Environment us ed by the Advanced View
application is always installed, regardless of whether the installation
target already has a s u itable JRE inst alled.
