SLIP Address SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) allows IP to run over the console port instead of the network. SLIP allows you to use out-of-band Telnet or SNMP management, either locally or remotely through a modem. SLIP operates with any valid IP address. The default is 192.168.101.1 which is the address Quick Config Manager uses. If you change this field, reset the hub to effect the change.

CAUTION: Changing the SLIP address and SLIP subnet mask can prevent Quick Config Manager from accessing the hub.

If you require more information about SLIP, read the Internet Activities Board document RFC 155.

SLIP SubNet Mask Enter a suitable subnet mask. For a class C address, 255.255.255.0 (the default setting) is suitable. If you change this field, reset the hub to effect the change.

If you are using SLIP, ensure that Flow Control is not set to XON/XOFF. For information on the console port, see “Connecting a Modem to the Console Port” on page 5-13.

Configuring and Viewing Setup Information

BOOTP Select Enabled / Disabled

When enabled, BOOTP allows you to download the IP address, the SubNet Mask, and the Router IP address from a BOOTP server on your network. When operative, BOOTP checks that a valid IP address is not installed before sending out requests for the data.

It continues sending requests for data until one of three conditions is satisfied:

■BOOTP is disabled

■A valid BOOTP reply is received

■You enter the address manually

When the IP parameters have been received, the hub resets automatically.

The following four fields are used for IPX addressing:

IPX Network This field shows the address of the network for this protocol. This address is learned automatically from the local IPX router or NetWare File Server, and you should not need to change it.

Node This field shows the node address of the hub, which is learned automatically.
