Eaton ePDU G3 - Chapter 5 Network Communication Configuration; DHCP Configuration

Eaton ePDU G3 Operation Manual P-164000277—Rev 1 www.eaton.com/ePDU 38
Chapter 5 Network Communication Configuration
The Eaton Enclosure Power Distribution Unit (ePDU) G3 automatically collects the network communication
configuration settings (IP parameters) from the server by default. When the ePDU is not connected to the
network, it continuously
attempts to connect. If DHCP is enabled on your network, G3 automatically collects
the network communication configuration settings.
When the connection is established, ePDU network configuration settings become availa
ble using the
command line interface (CLI) on a serial interface. Access to the CLI is provided using a terminal emulation
program, such as Telnet, HyperTerminal®, PuTTY or TeraTerm.
NOTE In order to use Telnet, you must have a network connection already established.
The ePDU defaults to using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) when delivered. If you are unable to
connect to the ePDU through the network connection with this default address, change the IP address using
the LCD or throug
h the CLI using a terminal emulation program.
The network connection automatically receives an IP address through the DHCP if available on the network. If
DHCP is enabled but a DHCP server is not available, the eNMC module will use the last-used IP address setting.
Alternately
, it is possible to set a static IP address by using either the LCD menu or a serial connection
command line interface (CLI).
The default settings are:
l
DHCP: Enabled
l
IP Address: 192.168.123.123
l
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
l
Gateway: 192.168.123.1
l
Username: admin
l
Password: admin
NOTE If you use the default IP address and are able to make a direct connection, you could
use Telnet to change the settings to some other fixed values.
LCD — DHCP
1. The ePDU defaults to DHCP enabled when delivered.
2. Connect to a network that has a DHCP server and wait 20 seconds before the eNMC module reboots
w
ith the new IP address.
3. Obtain the IP address from the LCD home screen (see Figure 33).
