Node IP Options (1 of 3)
Node IP Address
Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)
Specifies the IP address needed to access the node. Since an IP address is not bound to
a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a management PVC.
001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the node, which can be
viewed or edited.
Clear – Fills the node IP address with zeros.
Node Subnet Mask
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the subnet mask associated with the IP address that is needed to access the
node. Since the subnet mask is not bound to a particular port, it can be used for remote
access via a management PVC.
000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Shows the subnet mask for the node, which can be
viewed or edited.
Clear – Fills the node subnet mask with zeros. When the node’s subnet mask is all zeros,
the IP protocol creates a default subnet mask based upon the class of the IP address:
Class A: 255.000.000.000, Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000.
Default IP Destination
Possible Settings: None, COM, Ethernet,
PVCname
Default Setting: None
Specifies an IP destination to route data that does not have a specifically defined route.
Examples:
If the default IP network is connected to the communications port, select COM.
If the default IP network is connected to a far-end device over the management PVC
named London for the remote device located in the London office, select the PVC
name London (as defined by the Name configuration option,
NOTE: If the link to the IP destination selected as the default route becomes disabled
or down, the unrouteable data will be discarded. Make sure that the link selected is
operational, and if that link goes down, change the default destination.
CAUTION: Use care when configuring a default route to an interface that has a subnet
route configured at a remote end where the NMS, router, LAN adapter, terminal server,
etc. is connected. Communicating with an unknown IP address on the subnet will
cause temporary routing loops, which will last 16 iterations times the retry count.
None – No default network destination is specified. Unrouteable data will be discarded.
This is the recommended setting.
COM – Specifies that the default destination is connected to the COM port. Only appears
when Port Use is set to Net Link (see
