EXAMPLE NETWORKS

After you save the LAN interface configuration, press 1 to add the next interface. Configure the information for the WAN (UnNumbered) interface as follows:

1)LAN

2)WAN

3)WAN (Direct Host)

4)WAN (RLAN)

5)WAN (UnNumbered)

Select function from above or <RET> for previous menu: 5

Enter the MTU size in bytes [default = 1500]? <return>

As the above screen shows, not much information is needed to configure a WAN (UnNumbered) interface. Simply press 5 to select the WAN (UnNumbered) interface type, then press <return> to accept the default of 1500 as the MTU size.

After you save the interface information, a screen summarizing the configured interfaces will be displayed.

Normally, at this point, we would configure the necessary static routes. But, because this example uses an UnNumbered Interface, we must first configure the device that will act as SITE1’s next hop. We must do this because to add the static route for an UnNumbered interface, you need to enter SITE2’s device name for the next hop device. To do this, you must already have configured device SITE2.

Return to the Main Menu to begin the device configuration.

ADDING DEVICE SITE2

Begin by pressing 3 at the Main CFGEDIT Menu. The Security Menu will then be displayed. Then, press 1 at the Security Menu, and the Security Level Menu will be displayed. To enable Device Level Security, press 2.

Press 3 at the Security Menu, and the Device Level Database Menu will be displayed. To enable the On-node Device Database, press 1 and follow the on-screen instructions.

To add the remote devices, press 2 (On-node Device entries). Press 1 to add the device. You will first be asked to enter the Device Name as shown below:

Device Name? SITE2

After the new device name has been specified, the following screen is displayed.
