Communication Between the Hub
and Network Management Station
The HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hubs that have an HP Ethernet SNMP
Module (HP J2603A or B) installed in them can be managed over the
network by HP network management products, for example HP
Interconnect Manager. These hubs can also be managed by any other
network management products that comply with the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) standard and have standard SNMP
MIB-browser functionality.
The communication between the SNMP network management station
and the hub takes place using the network layer protocols, IPX for
Novell networks, or IP for TCP/IP networks.
Which protocol you use depends on the protocol being used by the
network management station. Additionally, if the network management
station is on the other side of a router from your hub, the protocol you
run on both the hub and the network management station depends on
which protocol the router can handle.
The network layer communications require that the hub have a network
layer address. This appendix provides some background information on
IPX and IP addressing.
