Chapter 7 Troubleshooting
Q4. Unable to connect to the SNMP IPv6 via its Host Name?
If you just assign a new static IP address to the SNMP IPv6, you may need to
refresh the NetBIOS table so that it corresponds with the new setting. Although
Windows updates its NetBIOS table periodically, you can still manually force
it to refresh by entering the following command nbtstat –R in DOS prompt
mode. After that, you can now connect to the SNMP IPv6 by its Host Name.
Please also ensure that the Host Name assigned to the SNMP IPv6 does not ex-
ceed 16 bytes.
Q5. How to check my workstation’s IP address?
For Windows, please enter ipconfig /all in DOS prompt mode. For UNIX, please
enter ifconfig in shell. You should be able to check your IP and MAC (Physical
Address) now.
