Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide
IP Protocol
Required for IP
These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the interface.
They provide enough information for another IP node to find the inter-
face (such as a Telnet client), but not enough information for routing to
take place.
•
IP address
•
IP subnet mask
•
IP broadcast address
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box to set these param-
eters.
TB: Use the configure command and the IPAddress, SubnetMask,
and IPBroadcast keywords in the IP Ethernet 0 (and/or
Ethernet 1) section.
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 or IP RIP 2
•
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.
TB: Use configure and set the RIPVersion keyword for IP Ethernet
0 (and/or Ethernet 1) section. Use edit config and add static
routes in the IP Static section.
IPX Protocol
Required for IPX
There are generally 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 condi-
tions on the Ethernet.
