Setting Up the Master Hub
This section describes how to set the hub’s console parameters for the vari-
ous management options it supports. Note that the hub can be managed in-
band or out-of-band, and either through the built-in console program, or
using an SNMP-management program such as D-View.
TCP/IP Settings
The hub needs to have an IP address assigned to it so that the network man-
agement system or TELNET client can communicate with it over the
network. The TCP/IP Parameters Configuration Menu allows you to
change the settings for the two different interfaces used by the hub: the in-
ternal Fast Ethernet interface used for in-band communication, and the
SLIP interface used through the diagnostic port for out-of-band communi-
cation.
Note: if you need to set an IP address so that you can access the hub con-
sole through a network, see the first section of this chapter.
Saved changes to any of the fields on this menu take effect the next time
the system is restarted. Fields that can be set include:
♦
Interface. This parameter displays the type of interface the hub will
use for management communications.
♦
IP Address. This parameter determines the IP address used by the
hub for receiving SNMP and TELNET messages. Should be of the
form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in
decimal) between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique ad-
dress on the network assigned to you by a network administrator.
The same IP address is shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet net-
work interfaces.
