Network Configuration

Use the IP Configuration screen to set the bootup option, configure the Ethernet IP

addresses for the agent module, or set the number or concurrent Telnet sessions

allowed. The Access Host screen can be used to limit access to the Web

management agent to specified subnet groups.

IP Configuration

Use the IP Configuration screen to set the bootup option, configure the Ethernet IP

addresses for the agent module, or set the number or concurrent Telnet sessions

allowed. The screen shown below is described in the following table.

Parameter Description

IP State Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration, or set by

Boot Protocol (BOOTP). Options include:

USER-CONFIG - IP functionality is enabled based on the default or user specified

IP Configuration. (This is the default setting.)

BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP reply has been

received. BOOTP requests will be periodically broadcast by the switch in an effort

to learn its IP address. (BOOTP values include the IP address, default gateway,

subnet mask, TFTP boot file name, and TFTP server IP.)

IP Address1IP address of the SNMP agent. The management agent supports SNMP over

UDP/IP transport protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet, such

as network interconnection devices and any PC accessing the agent (or running

AccView) are assigned an IP address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers,

of 0 to 255, and separated by periods. Anything outside of this format will not be

accepted by the configuration program.

Subnet Mask1Subnet mask of the SNMP agent. This mask identifies the host address bits used

for routing to specific subnets.

Gateway IP1Gateway used to pass trap messages from the switch’s agent to the management

station. Note that the gateway must be defined if the management station is

located in a different IP segment.

Telnet Session Number Sets the number of concurrent Telnet sessions allowed to access the management

agent. The default is four sessions.

1: The default value is null.
