5.5RUNTIME IP ADDRESS DISCOVERY

Upon power up, the 8H02-16, through a function called Runtime IP Address Discovery, sends out a RARP and BootP request over the network to determine its IP address. This function allows the loading of an IP address into NVRAM on the 8H02-16 without using Local Management. For information on setting up a workstation to act as a server to respond to a RARP or BootP request, refer to the specific workstation documentation.

5.6COM PORT AND TELNET CONNECTIONS

Once the 8H02-16 has a valid IP address, establish a Telnet session with Local Management from any TCP/IP based node on the network. Telnet connections to the 8H02-16 require the community name passwords assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen. Refer to Section 6.7, SNMP Community Names Screen, of this manual for additional information about community names.

NOTE

Refer to the instructions included with the Telnet application for information about establishing a Telnet session.
