Configuring an Ethernet Interface
4-5
Setting Ethernet IPX Parameters
interface and the netmask. The two valid values are high, where the host part of the
address is all 1s (ones), such as 192.168.1.255, and low, where the host part of the
address is all 0s (zeros), such as 192.168.1.0. The PortMaster default is low. The
standard for hosts is to broadcast high, but some hosts still use the low broadcast
address, including hosts running SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) and earlier.
The broadcast address you set for an Ethernet interface on the PortMaster must match
the broadcast address set for other hosts on your local Ethernet segment.
To set the broadcast address, use the following command:
Command> set Ether0 broadcast high|low
Enabling or Disabling IP Traffic
IP traffic is sent and received through a PortMaster Ethernet interface. IP is enabled by
default on PortMaster Ethernet ports. If the setting has been changed, you must enable
IP on the Ethernet interface of all PortMaster products attached directly to a local
Ethernet. Disable IP traffic on Ethernet ports only if the PortMaster is not attached to a
local Ethernet network.
To enable or disable IP traffic, use the following command:
Command> set ether0 ip enable|disable
Note – This command is currently available only on the Ether0 port.
Setting Ethernet IPX Parameters
Note – The PortMaster 4 supports the IPX protocol if it is running ComOS 4.1 or later.
IPX is not supported in ComOS 4.0.
You must set the following values to send IPX traffic on an Ethernet interface. IPX
routing is enabled when routing is enabled.

Network address
•
Protocol
•
Frame type
Setting the IPX Network Address
You must identify the IPX network of your local Ethernet segment. An IPX network
address is a number entered in hexadecimal format, described in Appendix A,
“Networking Concepts.”
To set the IPX network address, use the following command:
Command> set Ether0 ipxnet Ipxnetwork
