RIDGING WITH THE
RAS 1500
3Com recommends that you route all protocols and bridge only the
protocols that cannot be routed.
Use the command below:
set network user <name>
ip [enable | disable]
ipx [enable | disable]
appletalk [enable | disable]
ip_address [local IP address]
For example, to bridge IPX and AppleTalk protocols but route the IP
protocol:
set network user Boston ipx dis appletalk disabled ip_address
201.191.15.5/c
4 For dialout specify the phone number and alternate phone number for
dial-out using the following two commands:
set user <name>
phone_number <number>
alternate_phone_number <second number>
set network user <name>
ppp channel_decrement <percent>
ppp channel_expansion <percent>

Using FCP to Bridge
with OfficeConnect
Routers
The RAS 1500 gives you a choice of connection protocols: the PPP, ideal
for Internet access as well as internetworking in mixed-vendor
environments, and FastConnect Protocol (FCP) from 3Com.
FCP runs over LAPB, which is a flavor of High-level Data Link Control
(HDLC).
Using Fast Connect
Protocol
FCP, which optimizes Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) links
between the RAS 1500 and the OfficeConnect
®
family from 3Com,
delivers nearly instantaneous ISDN link establishment.
By connecting more quickly, the RAS 1500 optimizes your performance
and reduces your ISDN call charges.
