Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration

6

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.  OSPF can only be configured 
using text-based configuration.

TB:  Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword for 
the IP Ethernet 0 section.  Use edit config and add static routes in the IP Static section.

IPX Protocol

Required for IPX

Generally, there are no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX.  
The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and 
will autoadapt to conditions on the Ethernet.

Suggested for IPX

You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values.  
You may also want to turn off unused frame types.

CV:  Use the IPX Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box.

TB:  Use configure and set keywords in the IPX Ethernet 0 section.

AppleTalk Protocol

Required for AppleTalk

Generally, there are no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for Apple-
Talk.  The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use AppleTalk Phase 2, and will autoadapt 
to conditions on the Ethernet.

Suggested for AppleTalk

You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values.  
You may also want to use more meaningful zone names.

CV:  Use the AppleTalk Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box.

TB:  Use configure and set keywords in the AppleTalk Phase 2 Ethernet 0 section.

DECnet Protocol

Required for DECnet

The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on.  In order to be used, 
DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.

Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port)

Set DECnet area

Set DECnet node

CV:  Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet: 
Ethernet Dialog Box.

TB:  Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet Ethernet 0 section. Use 
configure and set the EnabledArea, and Node keywords in the DECnet Global section.

v

 

Note:

 Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.  

In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
