Configuring the Unit's IP Information
Before you can manage the unit or stack over the network, you must
assign it an IP address and subnet mask. You may also need to enter
a default gateway (sometimes known as the default router) address.
The default router is the router (if you have one) that is used by the
stack to communicate with other networks. For serial management,
you may need to configure the SLIP address and SLIP subnet mask.
If you have no previous knowledge of IP, refer to
page 30. If you change any of these values, you may need to
re-access the hub using the new values.
The IP information is stored in the unit but can be used to access the
whole stack.
If you enable BOOTP for the unit and there is a BOOTP server on your
network, the server can automatically allocate an IP address, subnet
mask and default router address to the unit. For information on how
to use your BOOTP server, refer to the documentation that
accompanies it.
