Management Station
The manageable HP 10Base-T Hubs can be managed over the network by both
a World Wide Web browser application and a network management software
application that complies with the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) standard and has standard SNMP MIB-browser functionality.
The communication between the SNMP network management station and the
hub takes place using the network layer protocols. (IP for TCP/IP networks).
The network layer communications require that the hub have a network layer
address. This chapter provides some background information on IP
addressing and the procedures for assigning an IP address to the hub.
