Set IP for APC RackPDU with ARP and Ping

From any computer on the same subnet as the Switched Rack PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the Switched Rack PDU, and then use Telnet to access that Switched Rack PDU’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings. Note. After the Switched Rack PDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that Switched Rack PDU. 1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the Switched Rack PDU, and use the Switched Rack PDU’s MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for a Switched Rack PDU that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands: – Windows command format: arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67 – LINUX command format: arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67 Note. The MAC address is on the bottom of the PDU and on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package. 2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For example: – Windows command format: ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113 – LINUX command format: ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113 3. Use Telnet to access the Switched Rack PDU at its newly assigned IP address. For example: telnet 156.205.14.141 4. Use apc for both user name and password. Читать дальше...
