Setting up the Master Hub, TCP/IP Settings

10BASE-T Stackable Hubs This method can also be used by a Super User to change another user's password. Setting up the Master Hub This section describes the settings you will need to change to allow you to be able to manage the hub from an SNMP-based Network Management System such as SNMP-View, or to be able to access the hub using the Telnet protocol. TCP/IP Settings The hub needs to have a TCP/IP address assigned to it so that the network management system or Telnet client can find it on the network. The TCP/IP Parameters Configuration Menu allows you to change the settings for the two different interfaces used on the hub: the Ethernet interface used for in-band communication, and the SLIP interface used over the console port for out-ofband communication. Each of the fields on this menu takes effect the next time the system is restarted. Fields that can be set include: ♦ IP Address: determines the IP address used by the hub for receiving SNMP and Telnet communications. 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 address on a network assigned to you by the central Internet authorities. The same IP address is shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces. ♦ Subnet Mask: bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the hub is on. Should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. If no subnetting is being done, the value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for a Class C network. 6-6 Using the Console Interface

10BASE-T Stackable Hubs
This method can also be used by a
Super User
to change another user’s
password.
Setting up the Master Hub
This section describes the settings you will need to change to allow you to be
able to manage the hub from an SNMP-based Network Management System
such as SNMP-View, or to be able to access the hub using the
Telnet
protocol.
TCP/IP Settings
The hub needs to have a TCP/IP address assigned to it so that the network
management system or
Telnet
client can find it on the network.
The TCP/IP
Parameters Configuration Menu allows you to change the settings for the two
different interfaces used on the hub: the Ethernet interface used for in-band
communication, and the SLIP interface used over the console port for out-of-
band communication.
Each of the fields on this menu takes effect the next time the system is
restarted.
Fields that can be set include:
IP Address:
determines the IP address used by the hub for receiving
SNMP and
Telnet
communications.
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 address on a
network assigned to you by the central Internet authorities. The same
IP address is shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces.
Subnet Mask:
bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that
the hub is on.
Should be of the form
xxx
.
xxx
.
xxx
.
xxx
, where each
xxx
is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255.
If no
subnetting is being done, the value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A
network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for a
Class C network.
