Network Address. The communication between the hub and the network management station
requires that the hub be assigned a network address. If you are using your hub in a Novell
NetWare network, it can be automatically configured with an IPX address from an IPX router
on the network. The hub is preconfigured to enable this function. Alternatively, if you are
using the hub in a network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP), you manually configure the hub
with an IP address using the hub console’s IP command. See the IP command description in
chapter 3, “Operation”, and appendix D, “Network Addressing”, for more information on
configuring a network-layer address on the hub.
When configured with an IP address, the hub can also send and respond to network-layer test
packets (ICMP Echo Request, or “Ping” packets).
Using Non-HP Network Management. To manage the HP Fiber-Optic Hub Plus with a
non-HP network management product, you must first obtain HP’s Network Management
Information Base (MIB) extensions. The HP MIB extensions are available on request. Contact
your HP-authorized LAN dealer or local HP sales office.
