To configure the list of network management stations that are autho-
rized to access and manage this hub, and to specify which of those
stations should receive alarms.
Use the SHow option to display the current
list of authorized management stations without being prompted to edit the list.
The list consists of the IP or IPX address of the network management station
and an indication of whether each management station should receive alarms
(indications of specific network events that are configured for the hub from
Parameter Default Value Definition
BOOTP protocol
enabled YES Keep or set this value to YES if you are using a BOOTP server to provide
the IP configuration to the hub. By default, the hub is configured to
automatically seek an IP address from a BOOTP server on the network.
This is done when the hub is powered on. If an IP address is not found,
the HP Hub-16M will seek an IP address every ten minutes until it finds
an IP address. Set this value to NO to disable this BOOTP process.
If you are not using BOOTP to provide the hub’s IP configuration, you
should set this parameter to NO.
Telnet access
enabled YES Determine whether users are allowed to use Telnet to access the hub’s
console interface.
IP address 0.0.0.0 The IP address of the hub (written in the format X.X.X.X).
Each X is a decimal number between 0 and 255 separated by a decimal
point. This address will be used unless the BOOTP protocol is enabled.
The default value (0.0.0.0) disables IP communications on the hub when
BOOTP is also disabled.
Subnet mask Must be supplied and
depends on the class of IP
address that has been
entered. The bit mask defining which portion of the IP address is the subnet
address, written in the format X.X.X.X. All the devices on your network
should use the same subnet mask. See your network administrator for
the correct value.
Default router 0.0.0.0 The IP address of the nearest IP router in your network. If no IP routers
are in your network, enter the device’s own IP address.
Time to live 64 The number of IP routers a packet is allowed to cross before the packet
is discarded. Increase this value if the hub will be sending IP packets to
a destination that is more than 64 routers away. The maximum is 255.
