IP Protocol

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions

Required for IP

WAN interfaces 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 interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.

•Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

•Set IP static routes

CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: WAN Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF and BGP can only be config- ured using text-based configuration.

TB: Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword in the IP WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Add static routes and a default router using the edit config IP Static command.

ϖNote: Due to the complexity of BGP, configuration parameters for BGP are not given in this Quickstart. For help with BGP configuration parameters, and other configuration questions, refer to the Tech Support pages on the Compatible Systems Web site at:

IPX Protocol

Required for IPX

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

AppleTalk Protocol

Required for AppleTalk

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

DECnet Protocol

Required for DECnet

The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.

•Set DECnet on (globally, and for a port)

•Set DECnet area

•Set DECnet node

CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Use configure and set the Enabled, Area, and Node keywords in the DECnet Global section.

ϖNote: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.
