IP Address and Subnetwork Mask (IP only)
In order for SNMP to run properly, every device in the network must have a unique IP address and
subnetwork mask. In a classical IP subnetwork, you must use the SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS command
to assign a unique IP address and subnetwork mask to the CPSW.
For example, the following command sets a unique IP address for a Classical IP over ATM subnetwork on
the CPSW and a subnetwork mask for an ATM class C device:
à ð
8265ATM
>
set device ip_address atm 195.44.45.48 FF.FF.FF.ðð
á ñ
The subnetwork mask is specific for each type of Internet class. In general, the subnetwork mask is the
group of common characters in the left part of the IP address. (These characters are also called the
network ID.) The host address is the group of unique characters to the right of the IP address.
The following command sets the subnetwork mask for an ATM class B device:
à ð
8265ATM
>
set device ip_address atm 195.44.45.48 FF.FF.ðð.ðð
á ñ
Using Host Names
You can also assign host names to each device with an IP address. This allows you to assign meaningful,
easy to remember names to devices.
For example, an 8265 located in Laboratory C with an IP address of 9.100.109.203 could be called LabC.
This can be set using the SET HOST command as shown in the following example:
à ð
8265ATM
>
set host LabC 9.1ðð.1ð9.2ð3
á ñ
Host names assigned to devices are displayed using the SHOW HOST command.
