Network administration

This chapter is a guide to assist network administrators in installing an Ethernet TAP probe. The Ethernet TAP probe is an Ethernet host device that may be configured for TCP/IP using DHCP to acquire its IP configuration (the default method) or through a static IP configuration.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• TCP/IP networks
  The Ethernet TAP probe is an Ethernet device that is configured by DHCP (default) or by using the built-in commands to set a static network configuration for your particular network environment.
• Ethernet TAP probe network ports
  Software uses several network ports to communicate with an Ethernet TAP.
• Configuring Ethernet TAP probe using netparam
  The netparam command writes its settings into non-volatile flash memory on the Ethernet TAP probe.
• Using efind to discover Ethernet TAP probes
  efind is a command line utility which searches for all the CodeWarrior probes on the local subnet of each network interface of the host and lists the probes' IP addresses, as well as other information.
