4.2 In-Band Management
Management Methods 4–3
4.2.1 IP Services
The DEChub 900 MultiSwitch Hub Manager cannot communicate with the network
directly over the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch serial management bus. For it to commu-
nicate with the network it requires a module that can receive and transmit messages
over the serial management bus. This is called an IP Services module.
The combination of the IP address and IP Service Module at that assigned slot loca-
tion establishes the primary In-band management path. If you move the IP Services
module to another slot in the hub, you must redefine the location of the IP address.
You can also independently assign an IP address for the module that provides IP ser-
vices, if you want to manage that module directly. Table 4–1 lists those modules that
provide IP Services
