Set the Destination IP Address
The destination IP address is the IP address or hostname of the machine on the other end of the connection. The destination IP address can also be set to 255.255.255.255 for
PPPusers. This setting allows the INA module to learn the IP address of the system on the other end of the connection using PPP IPCP address negotiation.
Do not set a destination IP address for Frame Relay connections. Instead, use a data link connection identifier (DLCI) list to link IP addresses to DLCIs, or use the Local Management Interface (LMI) or
Use the following commands to set the destination IP address:
Command> set W1 destination Ipaddress [Ipmask]
Command> save all
Set the Netmask
The default netmask is 255.255.255.0. If the remote network has been divided into subnets, enter the netmask that identifies how the remote network addresses are divided between the network portion and the host portion. The value of Ipmask is dependent upon the size of the IP subnet of which the IP address is a member.
Use the following commands to set the netmask:
Command> set W1 netmask Ipmask
Command> save all
Set the Transport Protocol
The transport protocol can be set to either PPP or Frame Relay. If Frame Relay is used, additional Frame Relay settings must be configured. See the PortMaster Configuration Guide for more information.
Use these commands to set the transport protocol:
Command> set W1 protocol pppframe
Command> save all
Command> reboot
Apply Filters to the WAN Port (Optional)
Filters can be used to provide elementary firewall protection for your WAN port. For information on input and output filters, see the PortMaster Configuration Guide.
