protocol stack.

Using SNMP (over IP and over IPX)

Once you set the IP address for any repeater in a Netelligent 2008/2016 repeater
stack, you can set the IP addresses for the remaining repeaters by making
SNMP over IP requests. You must use the DOS-based SETIP.EXE utility to set
the IP address of the initial repeater (see "Using IPX" in this chapter). An
SNMP network manager can set/update the IP addresses (and other
configurations parameters) for each of the repeaters in a stack by modifying the
nws2StackTable MIB object and sending it to a repeater that has a valid IP
address. Only one repeater in the stack requires connectivity.
You can use SNMP over IPX to set the IP address of each repeater in the stack,
even if none of the repeaters in the stack have a valid IP address. For example,
Novell's NMS could autodiscover a Netelligent 2008/2016 repeater stack, and
then use SNMP over IPX to modify the nws2StackTable MIB object.

VT100 Management

The Netelligent 2008/2016 repeater provides a VT100 terminal interface in the
Runtime operational mode This interface enables simple management through
the following three modes of communications:
The repeater allows only one active user interface at a time. For example, if a
session is active using Telnet over Ethernet, you cannot start another session
using the serial or Ethernet connections.
Serial port connection using VT100 terminal protocol over a modem or
direct connection using a null modem cable
Telnet over an IP Ethernet connection
Telnet over SLIP (serial interface) with or without a modem
