IP Addressing

Selecting an IP Addressing Scheme

You can select from many IP (Internet Protocol) addressing schemes to provide SNMP NMS connectivity. Review the following information in preparation for selecting an IP addressing scheme.

HYou can assign IP addresses to the:

Ð10BaseT port

ÐIMC

HWhen the IMC Routing Information Protocol option is set to Proprietary,

IP routing information is automatically passed between interconnected DSUs from the network side.

A static route to the DSU that is managed over the IMC must be set in the routing table of the NMS host or local router.

HEach DSU's internal routing table supports a maximum of 20 routes, even though a single route is all that is needed to reach every device on a subnet.

HAny legal host address is allowed for a given subnet; the address choice within the subnet is completely arbitrary.

HThe 48-bit MAC (Media Access Control) address of the 10BaseT port does not govern the port's 32-bit IP address.
