HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB Installation And Reference Manual page 64

Network Address. The communication between the bridge and the network management
station requires that the bridge be assigned a network address. For Novell NetWare networks,
the network address is an Internetworking Packet Exchange (IPX) address; for TCP/IP
networks, the address is an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
If you are using the bridge in a Novell NetWare network, it can be automatically configured
with an IPX address from a file server or router running IPX on the network. The bridge is
preconfigured to enable this function.
If the bridge is in a TCP/IP network, you manually configure the bridge with an IP address
using the bridge console's IP command. See the IP command description in chapter 3,
"Configuration", and see appendix D, "Network Addressing", for more information on
configuring a network-layer address on the bridge.
When configured with an IP address, the bridge can also send and respond to network-layer test
packets (ICMP Echo Request, or "Ping" packets).
Using Non-HP Network Management. To manage the HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB with a
non-HP network management product, you must first obtain HP's Network Management
Information Base (MIB) extensions. The HP MIB extensions are available on request. Contact
your HP-authorized LAN dealer or local HP sales office.
