Setting Up IP Routing	You must set up the port that accesses the server for IP routing. To set up IP

	The password prompt is displayed.
2	At the password prompt, press the Return key.
	The network manager prompt (Enterprise OS #) is displayed.
3	Set up an IP address and subnet mask using:
	SETDefault !<port> -IP NETaddr = <IP address> [<subnet mask>]
	For more information on IP configuration, see Reference for Enterprise OS
	Software.
	This step needs to be completed using the console port before telnet or Web Link
	can be used.
4	Enable IP routing by entering:
	SETDefault -IP CONTrol = RO
5	Enable a routing protocol. For example, to enable RIP use:
	SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = (Listen, Talk)
	This step is optional.
6	Ensure your configuration by verifying that the bridge/router can access other
	devices on the network, use:
	PING <IP address>
	where <IP address> is the IP address of another device on the network.
