Configuration And Switch Management - Nortel 325-24T Configuration Manual

• RFC 1643 (Ethernet MIB)
• RFC 1757 (RMON)
• RFC 1271 (RMON)
• RFC 1157 (SNMP)
Standards
The following IEEE Standards also contain information germane to the Ethernet
Switch 325/425:
• IEEE 802.1D (Standard for Spanning Tree Protocol)
• IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet)
• IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN Tagging)
BootP automatic IP configuration/MAC address
The Ethernet Switch 325/425 has a unique 48-bit hardware address, or MAC
address, that is printed on a label on the back panel. You use this MAC address
when you configure the network BootP server to recognize the Ethernet Switch
425-24T BootP requests. A properly configured BootP server enables the switch
to automatically learn its assigned IP address, subnet mask, IP address of the
default router (default gateway), and software image file name.
For information about a stack MAC address, see
page 89.
For more information and an example of a BootP configuration file, see
Appendix D, "Sample BootP configuration file," on page

Configuration and switch management

The Ethernet Switch 325/425 that is shipped directly from the factory is ready to
operate in any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network.
You must assign an IP address to the switch or stack, depending on the mode of
operation. You can set both addresses by using the console port or BootP, which
resides on the switch. You can manage the switch using:
