Parameter

Default Value

Definition

BOOTP protocol

YES

Keep or set this value to YES if you are using a BOOTP server to provide

enabled

 

the IP configuration to the hub. By default, the hub is configured to

 

 

automatically seek an IP address from a BOOTP server on the network.

 

 

This is done when the hub is powered on. If an IP address is not found,

 

 

the HP Hub-16M will seek an IP address every ten minutes until it finds

 

 

an IP address. Set this value to NO to disable this BOOTP process.

 

 

If you are not using BOOTP to provide the hub’s IP configuration, you

 

 

should set this parameter to NO.

 

 

 

Telnet access

YES

Determine whether users are allowed to use Telnet to access the hub’s

enabled

 

console interface.

 

 

 

IP address

0.0.0.0

The IP address of the hub (written in the format X.X.X.X).

 

 

Each X is a decimal number between 0 and 255 separated by a decimal

 

 

point. This address will be used unless the BOOTP protocol is enabled.

 

 

The default value (0.0.0.0) disables IP communications on the hub when

 

 

BOOTP is also disabled.

 

 

 

Subnet mask

Must be supplied and

The bit mask defining which portion of the IP address is the subnet

 

depends on the class of IP

address, written in the format X.X.X.X. All the devices on your network

the correct value.

 

 

 

Default router

0.0.0.0

The IP address of the nearest IP router in your network. If no IP routers

 

 

are in your network, enter the device’s own IP address.

 

 

 

Time to live

64

The number of IP routers a packet is allowed to cross before the packet

 

 

is discarded. Increase this value if the hub will be sending IP packets to

 

 

a destination that is more than 64 routers away. The maximum is 255.

 

 

 

MAnagers [SHow]

To configure the list of network management stations that are autho- rized to access and manage this hub, and to specify which of those stations should receive alarms. Use the SHow option to display the current list of authorized management stations without being prompted to edit the list.

The list consists of the IP or IPX address of the network management station and an indication of whether each management station should receive alarms (indications of specific network events that are configured for the hub from
