Changing the Network Configuration

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parameter

Default

Description

 

 

 

Interface Type

Ethernet

Indicates IP over Ethernet.

 

 

 

IP Address

0.0.0.0.

IP address of the module you are managing when

 

 

accessing the agent module over the network. The

 

 

agent module 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 module (or running

 

 

NetSight) must have an IP address.Valid IP addresses

 

 

consist of four numbers, from 0 to 255, that are

 

 

separated by periods (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn). Anything

 

 

outside of this format will not be accepted by the

 

 

configuration program.

 

 

 

Subnet Mask

255.255. 0.0

Subnet mask of the agent you have selected. This

 

 

mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to

 

 

specific subnets.

 

 

 

Gateway IP

0.0.0.0

Gateway 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.

 

 

 

IP State

USER-CONFIG

Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via

 

 

manual configuration, or set by Boot Protocol

 

 

(BOOTP). Options include

 

 

USER-CONFIG — The IP functionality is enabled

 

 

based on the default or user-specified IP

 

 

Configuration, which is the default.

 

 

BOOTP Get IP — The 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 can include the IP address, default gateway,

 

 

subnet mask, TFTP boot file name, and TFTP

 

 

server IP.)
