Setting Addresses

The hub management module uses the TCP/IP network environment for
downloading images and managing the hub. Refer to the section "Downloading
New Images" later in this chapter for a discussion of downloading procedures.
The console command set provides for setting and displaying
TCP/IP-related addresses. To display these addresses, enter the show ip
command.

IP Address

The IP address is a unique 32-bit identifier for a specific TCP/IP host or other
device. Contact your network administrator for the IP addresses that you need.
To set the IP address, type set ip followed by the hub's IP address, the
netmask (optional), and the broadcast IP address (optional). For example,
type:
set ip 128.45.87.25 255.255.0.0 128.45.255.255 [Enter]
Your input is echoed after you press [Enter], as shown below:
IP address :128.45.87.25
Netmask :255.255.0.0
Broadcast :128.45.255.255
If you type only set ip, this usage message appears:
Usage: set ip address [netmask] [broadcast]
where address is the IP address for this hub
netmask is the IP network mask [optional]
broadcast is the IP broadcast address [optional]
e.g. set ip 128.45.87.25 255.255.0.0 0.0.255.255
If you type set ip followed by only one IP address, the netmask and
broadcast address are automatically calculated, as shown below:
set ip 128.45.87.25
IP address :128.45.87.25
Netmask :255.255.0.0
Broadcast :128.45.255.255
