Enter the IP address of the module that you are managing when accessing
the agent module over the network.
The agent module supports SNMP over UDP/ IP transport protocol. In this
environment, all systems on the Internet, such as network interconnection
devices and any PC accessing the agent module (or running NetSight) must
have an IP address.Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, from 0 to
255, that are separated by periods (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn). Anything outside of
this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.
The default is 0.0.0.0.
Enter the subnet mask of the agent you have selected. This mask identifies
the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.
The default is 255.255. 0.0.
Enter the IP address of the gateway used to pass trap messages from the
module's agent to the management station.
NOTE: The gateway must be defined if the management station is
located on a different IP segment.
The default is 0.0.0.0.
Specify whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration, or set
by Boot Protocol (BOOTP). This field toggles between USER-CONFIG and
BOOTP Get IP using the SPACE bar.
USER-CONFIG – The IP functionality is enabled based on the default or
user-specified IP Configuration, which is the default setting.
BOOTP Get IP – The IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP
reply has been received. BOOTP requests will be periodically broadcast by
the module in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP values can include
the IP address, default gateway, subnet mask, TFTP boot file name, and
TFTP server IP.)
