IP Addresses for IP and Non-IP
Networks
If you have chosen to manage your hub with an SNMP/IP network
manager, 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 (described on the next page).
Using Assigned IP Addresses
Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that if you intend to expand,
integrate, or connect your network to other networks, you use an
assigned IP address (globally administered addresses). There is a formal
process to assign unique IP addresses to networks worldwide.
Government Systems, Incorporated (GSI) is in charge of assigning IP
addresses. You must fill out and submit an application form to GSI. You
can get this form by either sending an electronic mail message to
hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil
or by writing GSI at the following address:
Mailing Address Government Systems, Inc.
Attn: Network Information Center
14200 Park Meadow Drive, Suite 200
Chantilly, VA 22021
Telephone in U.S. only: 1-800-365-3642
worldwide: 1-703-802-4535
FAX: 1-703-802-8376
Allow at least eight working days for GSI to process an IP address
request.
Building Your Own IP Addressing Scheme
If your network is isolated and will not be connected to any other
networks that use IP addressing, you can build your own IP addressing
scheme (locally administered addresses). If you use your own
addressing scheme, be aware that any connection to another IP network
could cause communication problems on both networks. The IP
addresses on the two networks must be compatible. Each address must
be unique.
