Configuring
ip-interface
profiles for Ethernet ports
The system creates an
ip-interface
profile for an Ethernet port when it first detects
the presence of the port. For example, the following output shows the default
ip-
interface
profiles for the soft interface (the profile with the zero index) and the
IP2000 controller:
admin> dir ip-interface
21 07/24/2003 13:55:31 { { any-shelf any-slot 0 } 0 }
31 07/24/2003 22:46:34 { { shelf-1 first-control-module 1 } 0 }
21 07/24/2003 13:57:01 { { shelf-1 first-control-module 2 } 0 }
36 07/24/2003 17:34:13 { { shelf-1 first-control-module 2 } 1 }
21 07/24/2003 13:55:31 { { shelf-1 second-control-module 1 } 0 }
21 07/24/2003 13:57:01 { { shelf-1 second-control-module 2 } 0 }
The profile for the Gigabit Ethernet interface on the first IP2000 controller (in slot 8)
uses the following index:
{ { shelf-1 first-control-module 2 } 0 }
This index consists of a physical address and a logical-item number in the following
format:
{ { shelf-num slot-num item-num } logical-item-num }
The logical item addresses a specific logical interface. It is zero except when multiple
(virtual) interfaces have been configured on the physical port. For more details, see
“Defining a local virtual IP interface” on page 4-8.
Overview of typical local interface settings
For information about enabling IP multicast forwarding on the Gigabit Ethernet
interface, see Chapter 8, “IP Multicast Configuration.”
Following are the parameters, shown with default settings, used to configure the
IP2000 Gigabit Ethernet port as an IP interface:
[in IP-INTERFACE/{ { shelf-1 first-control-module 2 } 0 }]
interface-address* = { { shelf-1 first-control-module 2 } 0 }
ip-address = 0.0.0.0/0
rip-mode = routing-off
rip2-use-multicast = yes
directed-broadcast-allowed = yes
vlan-enabled = no
vlan-id = 0
Parameter
Setting
interface-address
Address of the interface in the Stinger unit, or, if the
item number is not zero, the virtual interface address.
ip-address
IP address of the LAN interface. If the LAN IP address
includes a subnet specification, you must create a static
route to another LAN router to enable the system to
reach local networks beyond its own subnets. For
details, see “Configuring ip-route profiles” on
page 4-28.
