Configuring for Network Management
If the hub is to be managed from a network management station, it must use
the same networking protocol as the network management station. You have
these choices:
■
Novell NetWare IPX
■
IP
Using Novell NetWare IPX
The HP Hub-16M is designed to automatically use Novell NetWare’s IPX
protocol. If you are using the hub on a Novell NetWare network, no configu-
ration of the hub is required for it to communicate with a network management
station that is also using the IPX protocol.
The hub determines its IPX address automatically from information received
from a router or file server that is running IPX on the network, and from its
own MAC address, physical address, or Ethernet address). See your Novell
documentation for more information on IPX communications and addressing.
Using IP
You can use IP by using one of the following methods:
■
using BOOTP by adding an entry for the hub in the BOOTP table on your
BOOTP server, and enabling BOOTP through the hub’s console interface
(this is the default setting)
■
using the console interface to configure the IP parameters
BOOTP is covered in Appendix D, “Network Addressing.”
To use the console interface to configure the IP parameters, enter IP and the
following text appears:
