name “publ ic” on t he device to allow the device to be discovered and managed by HP Hub and Switch Management. Typically, the community name on HP hubs and bridges will automatically default to “p ublic”.

To configure a device for IP networks, use the device’s console port interface. Refer to the device’s Installation and Reference Guide for use of the device’s RS-232 console port.

Note: For HP hubs, HP Hub & Switch Management can be used to change IP addresses after they have been initially assigned during installation.

Network Bootp Server

HP EtherTwist Hub Plus/24S and HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T hubs (with SNMP modules installed) support the use of Bootp (Bootstrap Protocol) to automatically retrieve their IP configuration from a server on the network. A device’s IP configuration must be configured in a file on the Bootp server. When the device is powered on, Bootp is used to automatically download the IP configuration to the device.

■Each device that supports Bootp must have Bootp enabled to retrieve its IP configuration from the server. The factory default setting is for Bootp operation to be enabled. You can enable or disable Bootp operation through the device’s console port, or from a network management appli­ cation (such as HP Hub & Switch Management).

■For more information on IP configuration using Bootp, refer to your device’s Installation and Reference Guide.
