IP Addresses
IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n, (The default factory setting is 192.168.0.1).
IP addresses are made up of two parts:
The first part (for example 192.168.n.n) refers to network address that identifies the network
where the device resides. Network addresses are assigned by three allocation organizations.
Depending on your location, each allocation organization assigns a globally unique network
number to each network which intends to connect to the Internet.
The second part (for example n.n.0.1) identifies the device within the network.
Assigning unique device numbers is your responsibility. If you are unsure of the IP addresses
allocated to you, consult with the allocation organization where your IP addresses were
obtained.
Remember that an address can be assigned to only one device on a network. If you connect to
the outside network, you must change all the arbitrary IP addresses to comply with those you have
been allocated by the allocation organization. If you do not do this, your outside communications
will not be performed.
A subnet mask is a filtering system for IP addresses. It allows you to further subdivide your
network. You must use the proper subnet mask for the proper operation of a network with subnets
defined.
MIB for Network Management Systems
Private MIB (Management Information Bases) is provided for managing the Managed Switch
through the SNMP-based network management system. You must install the private MIB into
your SNMP-based network management system first.
The MIB file is shipped together with the Managed Switch. The file name extension is
“.mib” that
allows SNMP-based compiler can read and compile.
