5.5 RUNTIME IP ADDRESS DISCOVERY
Upon power up, the 8H02-16, through a function called Runtime IP
Address Discovery, sends out a RARP and BootP request over the
network to determine its IP address. This function allows the loading of
an IP address into NVRAM on the 8H02-16 without using Local
Management. For information on setting up a workstation to act as a
server to respond to a RARP or BootP request, refer to the specific
workstation documentation.
5.6 COM PORT AND TELNET CONNECTIONS
Once the 8H02-16 has a valid IP address, establish a Telnet session with
Local Management from any TCP/IP based node on the network. Telnet
connections to the 8H02-16 require the community name passwords
assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen. Refer to Section 6.7,
SNMP Community Names Screen, of this manual for additional
information about community names.
NOTE
Refer to the instructions included with the Telnet application for
information about establishing a Telnet session.
