administered IP addresses, Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that you
use IP addresses that have been assigned to you. There is a formal process for
assigning unique IP addresses to networks worldwide. Contact one of the

Configuring IP Parameters
To run HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches on an IP network, you must configure
the management station and all managed devices for IP.
The network management station is configured for IP using the TCP/IP stack
utilities. To configure a device for IP, you typically connect to the device's
console port and use the console port interface. (Refer to the device's instal-
lation manual for more information.)
Before you configure the network management station and manageable
devices for IP, make a list of all the devices on the network and what their IP
addresses will be.
