IP Protocol
You need to set some basic IP parameters for the Ethernet interface.
•IP address (default = 198.41.12.1)
•IP subnet mask (default = 255.255.255.0)
•IP broadcast address (default = 198.41.12.255)
•RIP 1, RIP 2, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), or BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
•IP gateway
•IPSec Gateway which is the equivalent of a default gateway for IPSec traffic
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet 0:0 Dialog Box to set the IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address and IP routing protocol for Ethernet 0:0. To set additional parameters for OSPF or to configure BGP, refer to the CompatiView Management Software Refer- ence Guide.
Use the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set an IP gateway.
TB: Use the configure command and set the IPAddress, SubnetMask and IPBroadcast keywords, and either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword, in the IP Ethernet 0:0 section. To set additional parameters for OSPF or to configure BGP, refer to the
Use the edit config command and set an IP gateway, in the IP Static section.
ϖNote: The gateway address would typically be an interface on a firewall. It must be on the same TCP/IP network as Ethernet 0:0. With this setup, you must configure the firewall to allow:
•UDP port 500 (ISAKMP)
•Protocol number 51, which is the AH (Authentication Header) protocol packet type
- and/or -
•Protocol number 50, which is the ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) protocol packet type
IPX Protocol
Required for IPX
Generally, there are no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will automatically adapt 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.
CV: Use the IPX Routing: Ethernet 0:0 Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set keywords in the IPX Ethernet 0:0 section.
