ÄIP Address / mask size

This is the IP address and subnet mask for the link of this router in the unnumbered IP connection.

Usually the clocking signal is received from the link (see Appendix D - Link Clocking Information). If the link interface is a V.11, V.35 or RS232 connection and the link speed is different from the default (64Kbps), and the router is to be the clock source, the link speed must be set to the clock speed that the router receives from the DCE link device.

Bridge Connection

Once the link speeds have been configured, the router will attempt to establish the link connection to the remote site PPP router. The Bridge connection does not require any configuration for operation.

IP Router Connection

Once the link speeds and local IP address have been configured, the router will attempt to establish the link connection to the remote site PPP router. The IP connection is an unnumbered connection that requires only the configuration of the IP address of the router.

IPX Router Connection

Once the link speeds have been configured, the router will attempt to establish the link connection to the remote site PPP router. The IPX connection is an unnumbered connection that does not require any configuration.

If security is required for the direct dial connection refer to the Configure PPP Security section for information on setting the security passwords and user names for PPP.
