IP Addresses for IP and Non-IP
Networks
If you have chosen to manage your hub with an SNMP/IP network manager,
your management module in your hub must be configured with an IP address.
If your network will be connected with other networks that use IP addresses,
you must use assigned IP addresses. Otherwise, you can build your own IP
addressing scheme (described on the next page).
Using Assigned IP Addresses
Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that if you intend to expand, integrate,
or connect your network to other networks, you use an assigned IP address
(globally administered addresses). There is a formal process to assign unique
IP addresses to networks worldwide. Government Systems, Incorporated
(GSI) is in charge of assigning IP addresses. You must fill out and submit an
application form to GSI. You can get this form by either sending an electronic
mail message to [e-mail] or by writing GSI at the following
address:
Allow at least eight working days for GSI to process an IP address request.
