Configuring IP Parameters
name “public” on the device to allow the device to be discovered and
managed by HP Hub and Switch Management. Typically, the
community name on HP hubs and bridges will automatically default to
“public”.
To configure a device for IP networks, use the device’s console port interface.
Refer to the device’s Installation and Reference Guide for use of the device’s
RS-232 console port.
Note: For HP hubs, HP Hub & Switch Management can be used to
change IP addresses after they have been initially assigned during
installation.
Network Bootp Server
HP EtherTwist Hub Plus/24S and HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T hubs (with
SNMP modules installed) support the use of Bootp (Bootstrap Protocol) to
automatically retrieve their IP configuration from a server on the network. A
device’s IP configuration must be configured in a file on the Bootp server.
When the device is powered on, Bootp is used to automatically download the
IP configuration to the device.
■ Each device that supports Bootp must have Bootp enabled to retrieve its
IP configuration from the server. The factory default setting is for Bootp
operation to be enabled. You can enable or disable Bootp operation
through the device’s console port, or from a network management appli-
cation (such as HP Hub & Switch Management).
■ For more information on IP configuration using Bootp, refer to your
device’s Installation and Reference Guide.
