IP or IPX Address
Enter the IP or IPX address of the
remote network management station to which SNMP
traps should be sent.
Community String
The community string allows a
very simple method of authentication between the
hub and the remote network management station.
You can enter any text string of up to 32 characters
(case sensitive). The remote network management
station must be configured to look for traps sent with
this community string, otherwise it will ignore the
traps. The default community string is
public
.
Throttle
To prevent a remote network management
station receiving too many traps at once, you can
configure the hub to transmit traps with a delay
between each trap. If several traps are generated at
once, they will be transmitted with the specified
delay between them. The unit of throttle is one
thousandth of a second. The default value is 100,
which gives a delay of one tenth of a second
between each transmission. If you set the throttle to
0, traps will be sent as soon as they are generated.
If your trap configuration results in a large number of
traps being generated within a short period of time,
it is possible that some traps will not be sent.

Port
The Console Port Setup screen is shown in
Figure 5-7
.
The console port is already correctly configured by
default. Only alter these default settings if you are
connecting a modem to the console port.
CAUTION:
Do not change any of these settings
unless you fully understand what you are doing.
Incorrect settings will lock you out from the hub when
you select OK, and you will have to contact your
supplier for information on recovering management
communication.
