SLIP Address SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol)
allows IP to run over the console port instead of the
network. SLIP allows you to use out-of-band Telnet or
SNMP management, either locally or remotely
through a modem. SLIP operates with any valid IP
address. The default is 192.168.101.1 which is the
address Quick Config Manager uses. If you change
this field, reset the hub to effect the change.
CAUTION: C hanging the SLIP address and SLIP
subnet mask can prevent Quick Config Manager from
accessing the hub.
If you require more information about SLIP, read the
Internet Activities Board document RFC 155.
SLIP SubNet Mask Enter a suitable subnet mask. For
a class C address, 255.255.255.0 (the default setting)
is suitable. If you change this field, reset the hub to
effect the change.
If you are using SLIP, ensure that Flow Control is not
set to XON/XOFF . For information on the console port,
see "Connecting a Modem to the Console Port" on
page 5-13 .
Configuring and Viewing Setup Information
BOOTP Select Enabled / Disabled
When enabled, BOOTP allows you to download the IP
address, the SubNet Mask, and the Router IP address
from a BOOTP server on your network. When
operative, BOOTP checks that a valid IP address is not
installed before sending out requests for the data.
It continues sending requests for data until one of
three conditions is satisfied:
BOOTP is disabled
A valid BOOTP reply is received
You enter the address manually
When the IP parameters have been received, the hub
resets automatically.
The following four fields are used for IPX addressing:
IPX Network This field shows the address of the
network for this protocol. This address is learned
automatically from the local IPX router or NetWare
File Server, and you should not need to change it.
Node This field shows the node address of the hub,
which is learned automatically.
