Configure general IP settings
Configuring general IP settings is one of the building blocks of setting up IP routing.
Optional configuration settings
n
The IP hostname. This hostname identifies the TLR device on IP networks. It is an unqualified
hostname. The default setting for the device is
LR54-%s
which expands to
LR54-<serial
number>
.
n
The administrative distance settings for connected and static routes. Administrative distance
settings rank the type of routes, from the most to least preferred. When there are two or
more routes to the same destination and mask, the route with the lowest metric is used. By
default, routes to connected networks are preferred, with static routes being next. The
administrative distance for each route type is added to the route’s metric when it is added to
the routing table. Configuring the administrative distance of a particular route type can alter
the order of use for the routes. The two administrative distance settings are:
l
Administrative distance for connected network routes. The default value is
0
.
l
Administrative distance for static routes. The default value is
1
.
From the command line
1. Set the hostname.
ip hostname LR54-NewYork
2. Set the administrative distance for connected routes.
ip admin-conn 3
3. Set the administrative distance for static routes.
ip admin-static 5
