Default Gateway (IP & LE)

The default gateway is the IP address of the gateway that will receive and forwar packets whose addresses are unknown to the ATM subnetwork. The default gateway is useful when sending 6416SW alert packets to a management workstation that is on a different network and is accessible via a router.

For example, the following command defines the gateway with the address

195.44.45.26as the default gateway:

￿ONcoreATM> set device default_gateway 195.44.45.26

[ENTER]

 

 

 

ARP Server (IP only)

The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) server is used in a classical IP over ATM network to map IP addresses to ATM addresses. This is necessary to permit communication between an ATM network and SNMP stations in a Classical IP subnetwork.

The following command defines the ATM address for an ARP server:

￿ONcoreATM> set device arp_server 39.11.FF.22.99.99.99. . . . . 1.49.11.11.11.

11.11.11.49[ENTER]
