The network illustrated above is a bridged network. Each system, SITE1 and SITE2 have been configured with all the necessary bridging information. SITE1 and SITE2 have also been configured in the IP host operating mode, and each have an IP host interface. This will allow each system to be managed remotely by the PC using Telnet client software (once the initial configuration has been completed).

Note that the IP address associated with each system is on the same LAN as the PC. This does not have to be the case. As long as the PC has access to the systems through their IP addresses, it can manage the systems using Telnet (or one of the other IP applications).

The steps below describe the configuration steps needed for the above example:

To enable the IP Host Operating Mode:

1.Select IP Operating Mode from the IP configuration menu.

2.Select IP host operating mode.

Note: The IP operating mode can not be set to host unless bridging is enabled.

3.When you select the IP host operating mode, an abbreviated IP configuration will be displayed (similar to the following):

1)IP Routing (Enable/Disable)

2)IP Operating Mode

3)IP Interfaces

4)IP Static Routes

5)RIP (Enable/Disable)
