3Com 3C840 manual Remote WAN IP Address

Configuring IP for the Remote Site Connection 4-9

Remote WAN IP Address:

■If you were provided a remote IP address and netmask, select Specified and type in that address and netmask.

■If the OfficeConnect Remote 840 is learning the remote IP address from the remote site (PPP only), select Learn from Remote.

2In order to have the remote site you are configuring as the default gateway, check the Use Remote as Default Gateway checkbox.

3If you are routing IP traffic to multiple remote sites, select one to be your default gateway. Then check this box only in the profile for that remote site.

4Select from the pull-down menu to have the RIP set to Broadcast, Listen, or Broadcast & Listen, and if one of these is chosen, set the RIP option to RIPV1 or RIPV2.

If you are using address translation (PAT / NAT), you must set routing to either Listen or None. This is because you have set up a private network and therefore do not want to be broadcasting information to other routers.

5Ensure that Enable IP is checked (enabled) and click Modify.

You are now done configuring the basic IP information for the Remote Site Connection.

Further Remote Site IP Configuration information is available in the following sections:

■Address Translation information is available in “Network Address Translation Using the OfficeConnect Remote 840”.

■Address Validation Information is available under “Using IP Address Validation”.
