Basic Software Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility

Examples of Using the Setup Command Facility to Configure Interface Parameters
Do you want to map the remote machine's smds address to IP address? [yes]:
IPX address for the remote interface:
40.0060.34c6.90ed
1-Port, 4-Wire, 56-kbps DSU/CSU Configuration
The switched-56 WAN interface card is configured for dedicated or leased-line service by default, but
it can also be configured for circuit-switched service, here known as 1-port, 4-wire 56-kbps DSU/CSU
configuration. Depending on the type of data transmissions you typically use, you can configure the
switched-56 WAN interface card for either circuit-switched service or dedicated-line service.
Generally, circuit-switched service is ideal for short-duration data transmissions or as an alternative
route if a dedicated line fails. For example, circuit-switched service is ideal for sending electronic mail
messages or doing such tasks as updating inventory and ordering records from one network database to
another at the end of each day.
Dedicated service is ideal for heavy network traffic. Dedicated service is ideal if you need a constant
network connection or you need connection for more than eight hours per day.
Switched Mode
The following is a sample configuration for a switched mode interface:
Do you want to configure Serial0/0/0 interface? [yes]:
Some encapsulations supported are
ppp/hdlc/frame-relay/lapb/atm-dxi/smds/x25
Choose encapsulation type [ppp]:
Switched 56k interface may either be in switched/Dedicated mode
Choose from either (switched/dedicated) [switched]:
The following switched carrier types are to be set when in switched mode
(at&t, sprint or other)
Choose carrier (at&t/sprint/other) [other]:
Do you want to map the remote machine's ip address in dialer map? [yes]:
IP address for the remote interface :
1.0.0.2
Do you want to map the remote machine's ipx address in dialer map? [yes]:
IPX address for the remote interface :
40.0060.34c6.90ed
Note
The setup command facility asks for only one telephone number for both IP and Internetwork Packet
Exchange (IPX) (if enabled).
Please enter the phone number to call :
1234567890
Configure IP on this interface? [yes]:
IP address for this interface:
1.0.0.1
Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0] :
Class A network is 1.0.0.0, 8 subnet bits; mask is /8
Dedicated Mode
The following is a sample configuration for a dedicated mode interface:
Do you want to configure Serial0/0/0 interface? [yes]:
Some encapsulations supported are
ppp/hdlc/frame-relay/lapb/atm-dxi/smds/x25
Choose encapsulation type [ppp]:
