6-8 CHAPTER 6: USING THE COMMANDLINE INTERFACE
Setting the IP
Configuration
Before you can manage the hub over the netwo rk, you must assign it
an IP address and subnet mask. You may also need to enter a default
router (sometimes known as the default gate way) address. The default
router is the router (if you have one) which is used by the stack to
communicate with other networks. For ser ial management, you may
need to configure the SLIP address and SLIP subnet mask.
If you have no previous knowledge of IP, refer to “IP Addresses” on
page 5-7. If you change any of these values, you may need to re -access
the hub using the new values.
