Table 4-10. Node IP Options (1 of 3)

Node IP Address
Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)
Specifies the IP address needed to access the node. Since an IP address is not bound
to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a management PVC.
On the Model 9820-45M, this address may be shared only among management PVCs.
On Models 9820, 9820-2M, and 9820-8M this address may also be used to access the
COM port.
001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the node, which can be
viewed or edited.
Clear – Fills the node IP address with zeros.
Node Subnet Mask
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the subnet mask needed to access the node. Since the subnet mask is not
bound to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a management PVC.
000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Shows the subnet mask for the node, which can
be viewed or edited.
Clear – Fills the node subnet mask with zeros. When the node’s subnet mask is
all zeros, the IP protocol creates a default subnet mask based upon the class of the
IP address: Class A: 255.000.000.000, Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C:
255.255.255.000.
