Ethernet SNMP Module Installation and Reference Guide ( J2603B) 1995-10

To use the console interface to configure the IP parameters, enter IP and the
following text appears:
=>IP
Active IP parameters:
BOOTP protocol enabled: YES
Telnet access enabled: YES
IP address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
Default router: 0.0.0.0
Time to live: 64
Change IP configuration? (Y/[N]):
The following table explains the IP parameters.
Parameter Default Value Definition
BOOTP protocol
enabled
YES Keep or set this value to YES if you are using a BOOTP server to provide the
IP configuration to the hub. By default, the hub with an HP Ethernet SNMP
Module installed is configured to automatically seek an IP address from a
BOOTP server on the network. This is done when the hub is powered on. If
an IP address is not found, the HP Ethernet SNMP Module will seek an IP
address every ten minutes until it finds an IP address. Set this value to NO to
disable an HP Ethernet SNMP Module from polling.
If you are not using BOOTP to provide the hub’s IP configuration, you should
set this parameter to NO.
Telnet access
enabled
YES Determine whether users are allowed to use Telnet to access the hub’s
console interface.
IP address 0.0.0.0 The IP address of the hub (written in the format X.X.X.X).
Each X is a decimal number between 0 and 255 separated by a decimal
point. This address will be used unless the BOOTP protocol is enabled. The
default value disables IP communications on the hub when BOOTP is also
disabled.
Subnet mask Automatically
generated and
depends on the
class of IP address
that has been
entered.
The bit mask defining which portion of the IP address is the subnet address,
written in the format X.X.X.X. All the devices on your network should use the
same subnet mask. See your network administrator for the correct value.
Default router 0.0.0.0 The IP address of the nearest IP router in your network. If no IP routers are
in your network, enter the address of a network management station, if any.
Time to live 64 The number of IP routers a packet is allowed to cross before the packet is
discarded. Increase this value if the hub will be sending IP packets to a
destination that is more than 64 routers away. The maximum is 255.
