Parameter Default Description
Interface Type Ethernet Indicates IP over Ethernet.
IP Address 0.0.0.0. IP address of the module you are managing when
accessing the agent module over the network. The
agent module supports SNMP over UDP/ IP transport
protocol. In this environment, all systems on the
Internet, such as network interconnection devices and
any PC accessing the agent module (or running
NetSight) must have an IP address.Valid IP addresses
consist of four numbers, from 0 to 255, that are
separated by periods (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn). Anything
outside of this format will not be accepted by the
configuration program.
Subnet Mask 255.255. 0.0 Subnet mask of the agent you have selected. This
mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets.
Gateway IP 0.0.0.0 Gateway used to pass trap messages from the switch’s
agent to the management station. Note that the
gateway must be defined if the management station is
located in a different IP segment.
IP State USER-CONFIG Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration, or set by Boot Protocol
(BOOTP). Options include
USER-CONFIG — The IP functionality is enabled
based on the default or user-specified IP
Configuration, which is the default.
BOOTP Get IP — The IP is enabled but will not
function until a BOOTP reply has been received.
BOOTP requests will be periodically broadcast by the
switch in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP
values can include the IP address, default gateway,
subnet mask, TFTP boot file name, and TFTP
server IP.)
