Configuring

a Port IP Address

To configure the IAD as a router, you must assign an IP address to both the LAN and WAN ports—each with different subnet masks.

NOTE You can assign up to 8 IP addresses on each of the WAN and LAN ports.

To configure an IP address:

1.Type C on the Router Configuration menu to select Configure Port IP address.

2.If more than one WAN port is installed or more than one PVC/DLCI exists, the IAD displays the interfaces on this IAD (sample shown):

Available Interfaces:

1.SDSL

2.10/100BaseT Ethernet

0. (Abort)

Type the interface number to configure.

3. The IAD displays the port table for this interface and prompts for a port.

Total = 3641 cps

Maximum PCR this interface can support = 3622 cps Select Port: [1-8]

Type the port to configure and press Enter.

4.The IAD displays the IP interfaces on the port you’re configuring:

IP interfaces on port 1:

IP Over Bridge is enabled

Enter the ID of the interface (0-7) to configure and press Enter.

5.The IAD displays the current IP address and prompts for a new one:

Enter new IP address for this interface: (91.1.1.18) ->

Type the new IP address and press Enter.

6.The IAD displays the current subnet mask and prompts for a new one:

Current subnet mask = 255.255.255.255 Enter new subnet mask for this interface: (255.255.255.255) ->

Type the new subnet mask address and press Enter.

7.The IAD prompts you to determine traffic priority on this port:

Select priority Normal/High [N/H] (N):

Do one of the following:

a.Set the interface to high priority—type H.

b.Set the interface to normal priority—type N.
