Abstract
A method for ascertaining an IP address and a MAC address of a unit under test (UUT) mounted in a rack server includes: assigning and providing an IP address to the UUT when receiving a request for an IP address which includes the MAC address of the UUT; storing the IP address thus assigned and the MAC address as a set in a mapping table; transmitting boot configuration data to the UUT when receiving a request for boot-up; determining whether the UUT is running an operating system; and designating the IP address thus assigned which corresponds to the MAC address in the mapping table as a static IP address when it is determined that the UUT is running the operating system.
