Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration
Release 9.3.30, Part Number 78-12907-01 Rev. E0, May 2005
Chapter 20 Configuring Network Management
Configuring the LAN Port
The parameters for the cnflan command are described in Table 20-2.
A cnflan screen is shown in the following example for the LAN setup shown in Figure 20-3.
An IP address of 192.187.210.30 has been entered as the active IP address for the node. The IP Subnet
mask is entered as 255.255.255.0 for a Class C LAN network.
The TCP service port is entered as 5120.
Because the workstation and node are on different networks in this example, a gateway address of
192.187.207.1 (the address of the node serving as a gateway for Cisco WAN Manager, in this example),
has been entered. You must obtain this gateway address from your System Administrator. If the
workstation and node are both on the same network, no gateway address is needed.
The “Maximum LAN Transmit Unit” and “Ethernet Address” parameters are not configurable by the
cnflan command.
The “Ethernet Address” is a hardware address that is different for every node controller card, such as
BCC.
The following is an example of configuring a control port (gateway router example):

Table 20-2 Parameters for the cnflan Command
Name Description
Active IP Address Specifies the Internet Protocol address of the node used in the TCP/IP
protocol.
IP Subnet Mask Specifies a 32-bit mask. The default for a Class C LAN network is
255.255.255.0. (Other than C Class masks may be used.)
IP Service Port Determines the BPX/IGX switch LAN port number entered in the
/etc/service file on the workstation. The LAN port number is 5120 for
all BPX/IGX switches.
Default Gateway IP
Address Specifies the Internet gateway address. This is the gateway that traffic is
routed through if the BPX or IGX switch and workstation are on
different networks. If they are on the same network, the gateway is not
used. The default value none is displayed in this case.
Note
If a gateway IP is entered and later you want to remove it, enter
255.255.255.255 opposite the IP Subnet Mask prompt and
192.0.0.0 opposite the Default Gateway IP Address prompt and
none is displayed again.
The node will reset itself if you do this.
