Introduction
private/enterprise/sigma/ecs1/admin/config. The default setting for 
this MIB is 0. Query the MIB and change this value to the address 
of the SNMP management station, then SET. If the 
[configNMSAddress] MIB is not changed, traps are sent to the last 
SNMP manager which polled the device.
1.8.1  IP Routing
IP routing allows end-nodes to send packets to end-nodes 
elsewhere on the network using the IP protocol suite. The ATX 
builds an IP routing table that stores destination addresses, the 
address of the gateway through which that destination can be 
reached, and the number of hops it takes to get there. (The number 
of hops is the number of other routers or gateways a packet must 
go through to get to the gateway.) The routing table allows the ATX 
to know how to route a packet to reach its destination address.
The routing table is a dynamic table, meaning that entries are 
continually being added and timed-out based on information the 
ATX is receiving.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP is one of the protocols that allows the ATX to build an accurate, 
current routing table. Routers, including the ATX, send out 
broadcasts every 30 seconds advertising the networks they know 
about, the routes to those networks, and the number of hops to get 
there. In this way the ATX is constantly up-to-date on the state of 
its neighboring networks.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
ARP provides a method for mapping IP addresses to physical 
hardware addresses. When a device wants to communicate with 
another device whose hardware address it doesn’t know, it sends 
out an ARP request. An ARP request contains the IP and hardware 
addresses of the source, and the IP address of the potential
