Location
Setting Factory Default Necessity
1 to 39 characters
(E.g., Floor 1, office 2)

Specify the location string for SNMP agents such as NPort IA5150/5250. This string is usually set
to the street address where the NPort IA5150/5250 is physically located.
IP Address Report
When NPort IA5150/5250 Series products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must
spend more time with IP management tasks. For example, if NPort IA5150/5250 works as a server
(TCP or UDP), then the host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the
DHCP server assigns a new IP address to NPort IA5150/5250, the host must have some way of
determining NPort IA5150/5250’s new IP address.
NPort IA5150/5250 Series products help out by reporting their IP address periodically to the IP
location server, in case the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below are used to
configure the Auto IP report function. There are two ways to develop an “Auto IP report Server”
to receive NPort IA5150/5250’s Auto IP report.
1. Use Device Server Administrator’s IP Address Report function.
2. “Auto IP report protocol,” which can receive the Auto IP report automatically on a regular
basis, is also available to help you develop your own software. Refer to Appendix E for the
“Auto IP report protocol.”
