Cabletron Systems 6H122-16 manual

General Configuration Screen

IP Address (Modifiable)

This field allows the IP address to be set for the 6H122-16. To set the IP address, refer to Section 5.15.1.

NOTE

The IP Address can also be set through Runtime IP Address Discovery as previously described in Section 1.3.8.

Subnet Mask (Modifiable)

Displays the subnet mask for the module. A subnet mask “masks out” the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies the host. When an IP address is entered in the IP Address field, the Subnet Mask field automatically enters the default subnet mask for the IP address. For details about how to change the subnet mask from its default value, refer to Section 5.15.2.
