4 Configuring the NCL1170

4.4 Examples of Bridging and Routing Configurations
The following diagrams show typical point-to-multipoint bridging and routing network
topologies, plus the corresponding command-line entries required to configure the devices in
the network.
In a point-to-multipoint network configuration, each NCL1170 must be configured to operate as
either a bridge or router. You cannot mix operational modes.
4.4.1 Point-to-Multipoint Bridging Network
Figure 10 shows a configuration of a typical point-to-multipoint bridging network.
Figure 10 Example of Point-to-Multipoint Bridging Network
In Figure 10 , unit A has been configured as the Master of the system with remote units B, C,
and D configured as Stations. Units B, C, and D unit IDs have been manually added to the
Master (unit A) Remote Station List. The Master unit ID on each Station is set to the unit ID for
unit A. If a unit is not in the Master Remote Station List, or does not have the Master unit ID
set, it will not be able to join the network.
The following example session shows how to configure the Master NCL1170 for the bridging
network shown in
Figure 10 .
