HP AdvanceStack Assistant is an SNMP-compliant network management

To manage a Switching Hub with HP AdvanceStack Assistant over an IP

in appendix D, “Network Addressing”. HP AdvanceStack Assistant software
and documentation are on a CD-ROM that is included with the Management
Module Pack. Please refer to the CD-ROM when using that application.
The rest of this chapter describes how to connect to the ASCII console and
