To configure DHCP settings:
1. DHCP: Check or uncheck to enable/disable DHCP support. Default is disabled.
2. FQDN: Provide the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) name and check Enable. Default is enabled.
3. Boot Delay: Check or uncheck to enable/disable Boot Delay with the following results:
•
Enable: The Boot Delay option gives the PDU approximately 100-seconds to establish a connection
through a DHCP server. The interval allows various network component activities to occur as the
unit powers up (such as obtaining SNTP time stamps for logging).
•
Disable: (Default) The Boot Delay option forces the PDU to boot after approximately 5-seconds
regardless of the DHCP acquisition state. This speeds up a boot when a DHCP server is connected to
one of the outlets in the unit. In this configuration, SNMP traps, SNTP, and other protocols will not
be available until a DHCP address has been resolved.
Notes:
•
The Boot Delay option executes only when DHCP is enabled.
•
The firmware can detect network link integrity and will wait for network connection. This means that
if the network is not currently connected, the enabled Boot Delay option will be ignored.
4. Static Address Fallback: Check or uncheck to enable/disable Static Address Fallback with the following
results:
•
Enable: (Default) The Static Address Fallback option informs the unit to automatically fall back to a
static address if a DHCP server does not respond after 90-seconds.
•
Disable: The Static Address Fallback option generates DHCP server requests until the unit obtains a
dynamic address.
Notes:
•
The Static Address Fallback option executes only when DHCP is enabled.
•
If the DHCP server boot time is excessive, you may need to disable the DHCP Static Address
Fallback option.
•
The DHCP Static Address Failback option does not apply when WLAN is enabled.
5. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Check or uncheck to enable/disable ZTP with the following results:
•
Enable: The ZTP option allows automated configuration for PRO1 DC products. PDUs can be
provisioned and configured automatically during the initial bootup, or whenever needed, to
automate network setup, user permission updates, and other PDU modifications, as necessary.
•
Disable: (Default) The ZTP option is turned off and the "Non Provisioned" state displays.
To reset ZTP:
Reset is available only when ZTP is enabled. When reset to "Not Provisioned", the PDU will attempt ZTP again
after the next RESTART, behaving as it did prior to being provisioned.
After a PDU has been successfully provisioned by ZTP, to use the GUI to reset ZTP to re-provision the PDU again
either after the next RESTART or next DHCP lease renewal, click the Reset button on the ZTP window.
Note that the PDU's provisioned state ("provisioned" or, "not provisioned") is not reset by disabling ZTP. When
ZTP is re-enabled on a previously provisioned PDU, the state will still show as provisioned.
