Configuring the Model 281xSA Hub for IP/IPX Networks
4-18
893-743-A
downloads the configuration file without continuing to seek an IPX
address. If the hub cannot find a BootP server, it looks for a Novell
server or router. If it finds one, it transfers the configuration file,
obtains the IPX network number, and writes the parameter values
into NVRAM. If it fails to find IP parameters, the Model 281xSA
hub resets itself and starts the booting process over.
t
[Toggle management protocol] Shifts the management protocol
among IP_IPX, IP, and IPX. The factory default setting is IP_IPX.
The management protocol is independent of the boot protocol.
When IP_IPX is selected, the Model 281xSA hub can be managed
by either IP or IPX network management stations.
When IP is selected, the Model 281xSA hub can be managed only
by IP network management stations.
When IPX is selected, the Model 281xSA hub can be managed
only by IPX network management stations.
i
[Toggle image load mode] Shifts the image load mode among
Remote, Remote w/Local, and Local. The factory default setting is
Remote w/Local.
When Remote is selected, the image file is never loaded from local
flash EPROM, even if downloading fails and the local image file
exists.
When Remote w/Local is selected, the local image is used as a
backup in case the remote download fails. If the download fails,
instead of resetting itself and starting the process over, the
Model 281xSA hub loads the image file from local flash EPROM.
NOTE:
The Model 281xSA hub must have a valid configuration in
NVRAM for the protocol the network management station is
using. That is, the Model 281xSA hub must know its IP address
and proper subnet mask if an IP network management station is
used to manage it. Likewise, the Model 281xSA hub must know its
IPX network number if an IPX network management station is
used.
