Reference Guide

IPX Addressing Notes:
Because the IPX address is assigned automatically, no IPX configuration is
necessary; no IPX configuration is provided on the hub console interface. By
default, the hub is ready to be managed by an SNMP network management
station that is configured for IPX communications.
If your hub is part of a network that is running IPX only, you do not need to
perform the IP configuration.
IP Addresses for IP and Non-IP Networks
If you have chosen to manage your hub with an SNMP/IP network manager, 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. There is a formal
process to assign unique IP addresses to networks worldwide. DDN Network Information
Center in Menlo Park, California, is in charge of assigning IP addresses. Contact the DDN
Network Information Center by phone or mail. They will provide instructions and the
necessary documents to assign and register your IP addresses.
