Network Addressing
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. The following information is described on the included
CD-ROM for HP AdvanceStack Assistant:
■ companies that provide IP addresses for your networks
■ how to build your own IP addressing scheme
■ examples of how to build class C addressing scheme
Use the IP Configuration command in HP AdvanceStack Assistant or the ASCII
console to specify IP addresses.
Setting the IP Address for a Hub
Specify an IP address for the hub if you want to use HP AdvanceStack
Assistant network management software. The steps to set the IP address in
the ASCII console are:
1. Connect to the ASCII console as shown earlier in this chapter.
2. Type ME to enter the menu system.
3. Type 2 and press [Return] to select the IP/IPX Configuration.
4. Set the IP address for segment 1 and any other segments you plan to put
users on. By default, segments 2-4 are set to “Disabled”. After an IP
address, subnet mask and gateway are entered, a screen like the follow-
ing is displayed:
Current IP configuration
