Ethernet SNMP Module Installation and Reference Guide ( J2603B) 1995-10

IP Configuration
The IP Configuration window is used to define the parameters necessary for
the hub to communicate with a network management station using SNMP in
a TCP/IP network.
Basic Security Features
The following security features are configurable from HP Stack Manager.
See the HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference Guide
for more information.
Password protection that limits access to the hub configuration from
both HP Stack Manager and HP Interconnect Manager.
An authorized managers list that specifies the network addresses of
the SNMP management stations authorized to manage the hub and
whether they should receive SNMP event alarms.
The HP Ethernet SNMP Module also has an external switch that can be used
to clear a configured password if you forget it. See “Clearing the Password”
on page 1-7.
Backup Link Configuration
The Backup Link option is used to specify two of the hub’s network ports
(AUI/Xcvr, ThinLAN, or twisted-pair) to be used in a backup (redundant)
connection to another hub thus enhancing network fault tolerance. It
enables you to automatically activate a second physical link between hubs if
the primary link fails. The backup link is used only in the event of primary
link failure, thus eliminating the possibility of loops in the network.
Robust Port Control
The Robust Port Control feature allows you to invoke options to improve
the hub’s ability to tolerate network problems resulting from excessive
collisions. The configurable options are:
Intelligent Segmentation Recovery
Late Collision Monitoring
Extended Hub
Capabilities
Extended Hub Capabilities
