SubNet Mask
Displays the subnet mask for the SEHI. A subnet mask is a 32-bit
quantity which “masks out” the network bits of the IP address. This is
done by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the network treats the
corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the network or
subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies the host.
MAC Address
Displays the physical address associated with the interface.
Default Gateway
Displays the default gateway for the SEHI. This field is not defined
until you enter an appropriate value. The default gateway identifies
the default gateway device that will forward packets to other IP
subnetworks.
Serial Port Application
Displays the port’s application setting as CONSOLE.
Baud Rate
Displays the Baud Rate setting of the device attached to the SEHI
through the serial port. The setting for the serial port is 9600.
Port Enable Override
This command lets you override the Disable Port settings in the
Device Statistics screen to enable all ports in the stack.
Setting the IP Address
To set the IP Address:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.
2.
Enter the IP address into this field. The format for this entry is
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, with values for XXX being from 0 to 255. The
screen beeps if you enter non-numerics or adjacent dots. If the
entry does not have three dots it will be rejected.
3.
Press Return. The IP address appears and the natural subnet
mask for the user is generated and appears also.
