Configuration
3 — Agent Access Addresses
This parameter stores IP addresses for the agent's communication interfaces. The
interface addresses facilitate communication between the agent and the
management station By assigning an IP address to the agent interface, you make
that interface available for agent-manager communications
The agent also stores a Netmask for each communication interface. The Netmask
defines which portion of the IP address represents the network ID and which
portion represents the Host ID (or network node). Bits in the Netmask are set to
one for all bits that correspond to the network portion of the IP address (i.e., 255 in
decimal). Bits in the Netmask are set to zero for all bits that correspond to the Host
ID of the IP address (i.e., 000). For example, if IP address 135.49.60.115 is assigned
a Netmask of 255.255.255.000, it means that "135.49.60" defines the network (in
this case, a subnet), and "115" defines the actual node (host) on that network.
To assign an IP address and/or Netmask:
1. Select Agent Access Addresses from the Setup Main Menu. This opens the
sub-menu shown below.
