Network Addressing

This appendix describes how network address information is obtained and used. Topics covered are:

■Communications Between Hub and Network Management Station

■IPX Addressing for Novell NetWare

■IP Addresses for IP and non-IP Networks

■Using BOOTP

Communication Between the Hub and

Network Management Station

The HP Hub-16M can be managed over the network by CiscoWorks network management software. These hubs can also be managed by any other network management products that comply with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) standard and have standard SNMP MIB-browser function- ality.

The communication between the SNMP network management station and the hub takes place using the network layer protocols, IPX for Novell networks, or IP for TCP/IP networks.

Which protocol you use depends on the protocol being used by the network management station. Additionally, if the network management station is on the other side of a router from your hub, the protocol you run on both the hub and the network management station depends on which protocol the router can handle.

The network layer communications require that the hub have a network layer address. This appendix provides some background information on IPX and IP addressing.
