At this time, a PPP/BCP connection between the 6081RC and the remote CPEs may have been established
(check this by clicking on the PPP main menu option), each PPP connection will be displayed in color code,
green means a connection has been established. However, there is no connection between the PPP/BCP mod-
ules and the Ethernet port (that is, the bridge module does not have a path to the Ethernet port and therefore
no bridged data can be sent to the a LAN).
At this time, a PPP/BCP connection between the 6081RC and the remote CPEs may have been established
(check this by clicking on the PPP main menu option), each PPP connection will be displayed in color code,
the color green meaning that a connection has been established. However, there is not yet a connection
between the PPP/BCP modules and the Ethernet port (that is, the bridge module does not have a path to the
Ethernet port and therefore no bridged data can be sent to the a LAN).
To activate a connection between the bridge module and the front panel Ethernet interface (Ethernet A), do the
following:
1. In the Ethernet A row (see
figure 53
), click to add a checkmark on the box under the Enabled column.
2. In the IP Address Configuration section of the Interface Configuration page (see
figure 54

card to respond to management commands after this change.
Note
If the 6081RC is equipped with more than one external Ethernet
port, the card can be managed from a non-bridged Ethernet port.
