Network Addressing
This appendix describes how network address information is obtained and
used. Topics covered are:
■ Communications Between Hub and Network Management
Station
■ IPX Addressing for Novell NetWare
■ IP Addresses for IP and non-IP Networks
■ Using BOOTP
Communication Between the Hub and
Network Management Station
The HP Hub-16M can be managed over the network by CiscoWorks network
management software. These hubs can also be managed by any other network
management products that comply with the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) standard and have standard SNMP MIB-browser function-
ality.
The communication between the SNMP network management station and the
hub takes place using the network layer protocols, IPX for Novell networks,
or IP for TCP/IP networks.
Which protocol you use depends on the protocol being used by the network
management station. Additionally, if the network management station is on
the other side of a router from your hub, the protocol you run on both the hub
and the network management station depends on which protocol the router
can handle.
The network layer communications require that the hub have a network layer
address. This appendix provides some background information on IPX and IP
addressing.
