To terminate the console session and reset the console port baud rate
to be automatically sensed
. The command also disconnects the phone link
if you accessed the console using modems.
To set IP (Internet Protocol) configuration parameters on the hub.
By default, the hub is configured to use BOOTP (Internet Boot Protocol) to
automatically retrieve the IP parameters from a BOOTP server, and to enable
Telnet access to the hub’s console interface. Use this command if you want
to manually configure the IP address or disable Telnet.
The IP configuration must be carefully controlled. If each device’s IP address
is not unique on the network, severe network performance problems will
occur.
A network administrator should maintain responsibility for the IP
settings. See Appendix D, “Network Addressing,” for information on setting
the IP configuration.
N o t e
At the end of the process of changing the IP configuration, the hub will be
reset. This terminates the console session (and disconnects the phone line if
using a modem) and resets the console port baud rate to be automatically
sensed. To restart a console session, when the reset process completes, press
[Enter] several times for the prompt.
When to Use IPconfig
If any of the following is true, the hub’s IP parameters must be configured,
either on a BOOTP server or on the hub through the console interface:
■
The hub will be managed remotely with a network management product,
such as CiscoWorks over an IP network (a network that uses IP commu-
nications, for example TCP/IP).
■
The network cable segments attached to the hub will be tested using the
IP “Ping” test.
■
Telnet access to the hub is desired.
