10.In the Subnet Mask field, type the subnet mask used by the Remote Supervisor Adapter. This step is necessary only if you disabled DHCP. The subnet mask must contain:

vFour integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods

vNo spaces or consecutive periods

The default setting is 255.255.255.0.

11.Select Advanced Ethernet Settings if you need to set additional Ethernet settings. Make modifications as necessary.

Field	Function
Data rate	Use the Data Rate field to specify the amount of data to be transferred per second over your
	LAN connection. To set the data rate, select the data-transfer rate in Mb1 that corresponds to
	your network capability. To automatically detect the data-transfer rate, select Auto, which is
	the default value.
Duplex	Use the Duplex field to specify the type of communication channel used in your network.
	To set the duplex mode, select one of the following:
	Full enables data to be carried in both directions at once.
	Half enables data to be carried in either one direction or the other, but not both at the same
	time.
	To automatically detect the duplex type, select Auto, which is the default value.
Maximum	Use this field to specify the maximum size of a packet (in bytes) for your network interface.
transmission unit	For Ethernet, the valid maximum transmission unit (MTU) range is 60 - 1500. The default
<60-1500>	value for this field is 1500.
Locally administered	Enter a physical address for this Remote Supervisor Adapter in the Locally Administered
MAC address	MAC address field. If a value is specified, the locally administered address overrides the
	burned-in MAC address. The locally administered address must be a hexadecimal value from
	000000000000 through FFFFFFFFFFFF. This value must be in the form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
	where X is a number between 0 and 9. The Remote Supervisor Adapter does not support the
	use of a multicast address. A multicast address has the least significant bit of the first byte set
	to 1. The first byte, therefore, must be an even number.
Burned-in MAC	The burned-in MAC address is a unique physical address assigned to this Remote Supervisor
address	Adapter by the manufacturer. The address is also a read-only field.

1Mb equals approximately 1 000 000 bits.
