Configuring for Network Management
If the hub is to be managed from a network management station, it must use
the same networking protocol as the network management station. You have
these choices:
Novell NetWare IPX
IP
Using Novell NetWare IPX The HP AdvanceStack hubs are designed
to automatically use Novell NetWare’s IPX protocol. If you are using the
hub on a Novell NetWare network, no configuration of the hub is
required for it to communicate with a network management station that
is also using the IPX protocol.
The hub determines its IPX address automatically from information received
from a router or file server that is running IPX on the network, and from its
own station address (also sometimes called the MAC address, physical
address, or Ethernet address). See your Novell documentation for more
information on IPX communications and addressing.
Using IP You can use IP by using one of the following methods:
using BOOTP by adding an entry for the hub in the BOOTP table on
your BOOTP server, and enabling BOOTP through the hub’s console
interface (this is the default setting)
using the console interface to configure the IP parameters
BOOTP is covered in appendix C, “Network Addressing” in
HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference Guide.
