IP Protocol
Required for IP
These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the port. They provide enough information for another IP node to find the port (such as a Telnet client), but not enough information for routing to take place.
•IP Address
•IP Subnet Mask
•IP Broadcast Address
RV: Use the Ethernet/IP screen to set these parameters.
CL: Use the interface(misc) and ip(set) commands.
Suggested for IP
These parameters help supply information about the segment that the port is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.
•IP RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and/or
•IP Static Routes
RV: Use the Ethernet/IP screen to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Window (All/IP) to set static routes.
CL: Use interface(misc) and ip flags(set) to set RIP, and ip route(add) to add static routes.
IPX Protocol
Required for IPX
There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet port will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will autoadapt to conditions on the Ethernet.
Suggested for IPX
You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values. You may also want to turn off unused frame types.
RV: Use the Ethernet/IPX screen.
CL: Use interface(misc) and ipx(set).
