3Com LINKBUILDER MSH 4 PORT ETHERNET BRIDGE MODULE Network Hardware User Manual


 
DUA1860-0AAA01
IP Address Configuration 2-31
Setting Up Remote Access
Initially, the bridge has no IP addressing information. When set
up, the IP address identifies the bridge. The IP Addresses screen is
used for setting up an IP address for the bridge so that other
devices can communicate with its management agent.
Select CONFIGURATION from the Main Menu. Select NETWORK
PROTOCOL from the Configuration menu. Select IP ADDRESSES
from the Network Protocol menu.
The IP Addresses screen appears, displaying two tables, Active
and Next Reset, as shown in Figure 2-16
. The Active table shows
the IP Address and Subnet Mask that are currently used. The Next
Reset table allows you to enter a new IP Address and Subnet
Mask, which will be used after the bridge is next reset. Highlight
the field you wish to change and an area for entering the new
information will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Enter your address information. A Subnet Mask is not needed
unless the network is IP routed. After entering your information,
the IP Address screen asks if you want to reset the bridge. Ignore
this and reset the bridge when you've completed this section.
