ONFIGURING THE
REX2
The Campus-REX2 RS is a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface card that
provides connectivity for LAN services. The Campus-REX2, as its default
configuration, provides IEEE 802.1d transparent MAC level bridging.
You can change the default configuration to routing and set the appropriate
IP parameters for the LINE and LAN. Also, you can set up parameters for
SNMP management.
You can use the Campus-REX2 with its default settings that include bridge
mode, cHDLC encapsulation, and Spanning Tree protocol set to disabled. If,
however, you require to change any of these parameters for implementing
your network, use the procedures in this chapter.
You can also configure SNMP parameters which provide a way to manage
the Campus-REX2 system over a network.
Some of the bridging parameters can also be configured through the LCD
menus. See
“Using the LCD for Configuration and Management” on page 97
for instruction. For an overview of bridges, routers, and other network
management concepts, see
“Internetworking and Management Overview” on
page 119 .
The Campus-REX2 supports forwarding larger-sized VLAN frames. There is
no configuration required to pass VLAN traffic with frame sizes between 64
and 1536 bytes.
