Ip Configuration; Password - HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub-12 Installation And Reference Manual

Installing and Using HP Stack Manager

IP Configuration

The IP Configuration window is used to define the parameters necessary
for the hub to communicate with a network management station using
the TCP/IP network protocol.
The hub's default configuration causes the hub to retrieve this
information automatically from an IP server using the Bootstrap
Protocol (BOOTP). The Novell NetWare IPX protocol is also enabled on
the hub by default, so the hub can automatically communicate with a
network management station using IPX/SNX.
If you are configuring your hub to communicate with a network
management station using TCP/IP and you do not have a BOOTP server
set up, use this screen to manually configure the hub's IP address and
other IP configuration parameters.
See appendix C, "Network Addressing", for more information.

Password

The Password function is used to establish password protection for
access to the hub from the serial port and from SNMP management
stations. Once a password is configured, it is also used as the SNMP
community name for network management access to the hub.
N o t e
The password is stored on the hub that has the HP Ethernet SNMP
Module installed in it. For password protection on the serial connection
to your hub or stack of hubs, you must connect the serial cable or
modem to the hub that has the SNMP Module installed. If the serial
connection is to one of the hubs in the stack that does not have the
SNMP Module installed, the password does not prevent access through
that serial connection; although, network management access is still
password protected. To provide optimal security, you should also install
your hub(s) in a locked space.
It is possible to clear the password if you forget it. See "Clearing the
Password" in chapter 4, "Troubleshooting".
