Chapter 2 - Basic Configuration Guide

This chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O card as part of your IntraPort Carrier VPN Access Server.

Configuration instructions in this chapter are given for Ethernet 0 on Slot 0. If your server has multiple slots populated, then you will need to repeat this setup for the other interfaces. The slot number comes first and is separated from the interface number by a colon (e.g., Ethernet 1:0, Ethernet 2:0, etc.). If other types of I/O cards are in use, then you will need to consult the Administrator’s Guide for the each I/O card for configuration guidelines.

Detailed information on the meaning of the server’s parameters is provided in the Compati- View Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to look up more specific information in the other documents.

There are a number of parameter settings which are optional, in the sense that they are not required for all installations. These settings are not covered in this chapter.
