Operating Software

Required for PPP

PPPoperation requires the correct operating software download in the BR Router’s Flash ROM. You can identify the correct software version by the “P” in the fourth character of the filename (i.e. M10P210.DLD).

RV: Use the Download Software selection under the Administration menu.

CL: Software download support is not available directly from the command line. However, the BR Router does support the TFTP protocol for software downloads. See tftp(misc).

vNote: The BR Router is shipped with PPP as the factory default operating software download. Unless you previously downloaded a Frame Relay software load, you shouldn’t need to download different operating software.

IP Protocol

Required for IP

WAN ports which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address. They are set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this mode of operation, there are no required settings.

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

•IP Default Router

vNote: If you set RIP to on for a dial-on-demand link, you must also set the update method to triggered to avoid the link being brought up by transmission of RIP information.

RV: Use the WAN/IP screen to set RIP and the update method, and the IP Static Routing Window (All/IP) to set static routes and a default router.

CL: Use interface(misc) and then ip flags(set) to set RIP, and ip wan(set) to set the update method, and ip route(add) to add static routes. User interface(misc) and ip(set) to set the default router.
