This section describes how to find the MAC address for your computer’s Ethernet adapter so you can use the MAC

filtering and/or MAC address cloning feature of the Router. You can also find the IP address of your computer’s

Ethernet adapter. This IP address is used for the Router’s filtering, forwarding, and/or DMZ features. Follow the

steps in this appendix to find the adapter’s MAC or IP address in Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.

Write down the Adapter Address as shown on your computer screen. This is the MAC address for your

Ethernet adapter and is shown as a series of numbers and letters.

The MAC address/Adapter Address is what you will use for MAC address cloning or MAC filtering.

Appendix G: SNMP Functions

Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router

Appendix G: SNMP Functions

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely-used network monitoring and control protocol. Data is

passed from a SNMP agent, such as the VPN Router,

to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The

Router then returns information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure

that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.).

SNMP functions, such as statistics, configuration, and device information, are not available without third-party

Management Software. The Router is compatible with all HP Openview compliant software.
