10. In the Subnet Mask field, type the subnet mask used by the Remote
Supervisor Adapter. This step is necessary only if you disabled DHCP. The
subnet mask must contain:
v Four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods
v No spaces or consecutive periods
The default setting is 255.255.255.0.
11. Select Advanced Ethernet Settings if you need to set additional Ethernet
settings. Make modifications as necessary.

Field Function
Data rate Use the Data Rate field to specify the amount of data to be transferred per second over your
LAN connection. To set the data rate, select the data-transfer rate in Mb
1 that corresponds to
your network capability. To automatically detect the data-transfer rate, select Auto, which is
the default value.
Duplex Use the Duplex field to specify the type of communication channel used in your network.
To set the duplex mode, select one of the following:
Full enables data to be carried in both directions at once.
Half enables data to be carried in either one direction or the other, but not both at the same
time.
To automatically detect the duplex type, select Auto, which is the default value.
Maximum
transmission unit
<60-1500> Use this field to specify the maximum size of a packet (in bytes) for your network interface.
For Ethernet, the valid maximum transmission unit (MTU) range is 60 - 1500. The default
value for this field is 1500.
Locally administered
MAC address Enter a physical address for this Remote Supervisor Adapter in the Locally Administered
MAC address field. If a value is specified, the locally administered address overrides the
burned-in MAC address. The locally administered address must be a hexadecimal value from
000000000000 through FFFFFFFFFFFF. This value must be in the form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
where X is a number between 0 and 9. The Remote Supervisor Adapter does not support the
use of a multicast address. A multicast address has the least significant bit of the first byte set
to 1. The first byte, therefore, must be an even number.
Burned-in MAC
address The burned-in MAC address is a unique physical address assigned to this Remote Supervisor
Adapter by the manufacturer. The address is also a read-only field.
1 Mb equals approximately 1 000 000 bits.

13. Select IP Configuration Assigned by DHCP server to view the current
configuration. It is enabled by default. A table opens that lists the IP address,
gateway address, and subnet mask set by the DHCP server, as well as the
server host name.
