IP Protocol
Required for IP
These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the interface.
They provide enough information for another IP node to find the inter-
face (such as a Telnet client), but not enough information for routing to
take place.
•
IP Address
•
IP Subnet Mask
•
IP Broadcast Address
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box to set these param-
eters.
TB: Use the configure command and the IPAddress, SubnetMask,
and IPBroadcast keywords in the IP Ethernet 0 section.
Suggested for IP
These parameters help supply information about the segment that the
interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.
•
Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
•
IP Static Routes
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box to set RIP, and the
IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to
set static routes. To set parameters for OSPF, refer to the Compa-
tiView Management Software Reference Guide.
TB: Use configure and the RIPVersion keyword for the IP Ethernet
0
section. Use edit config and add static routes in the IP Static
section.
WAN Interface Configuration
In order to use a WAN interface, you may first need to set some phys-
ical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.
The RS-232 interface can be run synchronously or asynchronously, at
rates up to 256Kbps (sync), or 230.4Kbps (async).
Physical Communications Settings
You may need to set the baud rate, sync/async operation, and other
physical communications parameters for the WAN interface. These
