Master Hub Setup and Management 39
In-Band Setup Instructions
This section describes how to setup the hub for in-band management.
Getting Started
Physically install and cascade the hubs and power on the hub stack accord-
ing to the directions in other parts of this manual. At this point, the hub
stack is ready for use as an ordinary unmanaged repeater.
The master hubs in the series come without IP addresses assigned (IP =
0.0.0.0). Without a valid IP address, the master hub will show a POST er-
ror indication and repeatedly restart itself once every minute or so. If you
want to manage your hub using a network management system, you will
have to assign an IP address to the hub. There are two different ways to
configure the hub with a new address, as described below.
Assigning an IP Address Using BOOTP
If your Fast Ethernet network has a BOOTP (BOOTstrap Protocol) server,
you need only add the hub’s Ethernet (MAC) address (which is printed on a
sticker on the bottom of the hub, or which you can determine using the
master hub console interface), IP address, subnet mask, and boot filename
to your BOOTP server’s configuration tables. The boot filename field of
the hub’s BOOTP configuration should contain the filename of a DFE-2600
series master hub boot configuration file accessible on your local TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server. This file can be empty. For more
detailed information about the boot configuration file contents, see Appen-
dix C : Boot Configuration File of this manual.
Assigning an IP Address Using the Diagnostic Port
To assign an IP address manually,

Connect a VT-100 compatible terminal or a personal computer run-
ning a VT-100 compatible terminal emulation program to the DB-9
console port at the rear of the master hub. The cable should be an
