The Registration Service of the InterNIC assigns a globally unique network number, 
leaving responsibility for assigning a unique local host number to the network 
administrator. 

To obtain a unique Internet address, contact the following organization:

Network Solutions
Attn: InterNIC Registration Services
505 Huntmar Park Drive
Herndon, VA 22070
1-703-742-4777
800-444-4345 (Referral Desk)
Network mail: HOSTMASTER@RS.INTERNIC.NET

For customers in Europe (including the former Soviet Union and the Middle East), 
contact the Reseaux IP European (RIPE) Network Coordination Center in the 
Netherlands using telephone number 3120592 5065. 

All other customers abroad should contact Network Solutions at the telephone 
number given above for assistance in locating network providers in your region.

If you do not plan to be connected to the Internet, you can assign network 
addresses on your own. However, if you plan on accessing the Internet in the 
future, you may want to apply for an Internet network address so you will not 
have to change network addresses when you make the connection.

After obtaining your Internet address, refer to “Assigning Internet Addresses to a 
Bridge” on page 6-20 or to “Assigning Internet Addresses to a Router” on 
page 6-21. For additional information on Internet addresses and subnets, refer to 
Using NETBuilder Family Software.

The NETBuilder II bridge/router participates in different types of network 
management activities. Most management activities require configuration because 
they are disabled by default. The bridge/router manages networks in the following 
ways:

■

Configuring and monitoring from a UNIX or Windows network management 
station using Transcend Enterprise Manager

■

Remote upgrade management using the NETBuilder Remote Upgrade 
Management Utilities supplied on CD-ROM with every NETBuilder release

■

Building network maps (netmaps)

This guide does not describe in detail how to set up the SNMP Service. Refer to 
Using NETBuilder Family Software and Reference for NETBuilder Family Software 
for more information.

SNMP allows you to modify and display some NETBuilder parameters from a 
network management station. You do not need to attach a terminal to the 
bridge/router console port to change its configuration. To implement SNMP, follow 
specifications in RFC 1155, RFC 1157, and RFC 1213. System parameters 
described in RFC 1213 and 3Com extended parameters can be accessed from the 
host.
