Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub
NOTE
You must have a point-to-
point connection to establish
a full-duplex connection
(shared hubs/repeaters/
concentrators aren’t capable
of full duplex). Additionally,
both points of the connection
must be configured for full
duplex.
To configure a port for full duplex
1
Configure the adapter or switch port on the other end for full
duplex.
2
Set the Express Switching Hub port to full duplex. This example
sets port 3 to full duplex:
set-port-dplex 3 full
3
Check the FC/FD LED. It should be solid yellow, indicating full
duplex.
Configuring the SNMP agent for IP
Commands used
set-ip-conf
Sets IP address, netmask, and broadcast address.
ping
Contacts another IP device.
The switch can be monitored and controlled through any SNMP-
compliant network management system (NMS). First, you must
configure the SNMP agent by assigning an IP address.
To configure the SNMP agent
1
Set the IP configuration. Type the command:
set-ip-conf 192.1.1.64 255.255.255.0 192.1.1.255
If the switch doesn’t have an IP address, then the specified IP
configuration is changed immediately and saved in NVRAM.
If the switch is already configured, the command changes only the
NVRAM. To use the new parameters, reset the switch using the
warm-reset
command.
2
Test the installation. Type the command:
SYS_console> ping 192.1.1.1 2
This example tests connectivity from the switch to a workstation
with an IP address of 192.1.1.1. For more information on the
ping
command, see page 33.

Download the MIB from Intel’s Customer Support World Wide
Web site (http://www-cs.intel.com). The file is compressed in the
file SWCH1MIB.EXE.
4
Compile the MIB into your NMS. See your NMS documentation
for more information.
