IP Address and Subnetwork Mask (IP only)
In order for SNMP to run properly, every device in the network must have a unique IP
address and subnetwork mask. In a classical IP subnetwork, you must use the SET
DEVICE IP_ADDRESS command to assign a unique IP address and subnetwork mask
to the 6416SW
For example, the following command sets a unique IP address for a Classical IP over
ATM subnetwork on the 6416SW and a subnetwork mask for an ATM class C device:
ONcoreATM> set device ip_address atm 195.44.45.48 FF.FF.FF. [ENTER]
The subnetwork mask is specific for each type of Internet class. In general, the
subnetwork mask is the group of common characters to the left of the IP address.
(These characters are also called the network ID.) The host address is the group of
unique characters to the right of the IP address.
The following command sets the subnetwork mask for an ATM class B device:
ONcoreATM> set device ip_address atm 195.44.45.48 FF.FF. . [ENTER]
