Remote Site

Each remote site that you want to connect to is accessed through a single ATM

Management

Virtual Channel connection. To set up connections over the WAN, a VC (remote

 

site) profile must be created and edited. With this profile, you specify ATM Virtual

 

Channel information, protocols, and addresses that determine the method of

 

connection and communication to that remote site.

 

You create VC profiles using the add vc command (e.g., add vc Internet will

 

create a profile called “Internet”), and then you modify the profile using set vc

 

commands to setup the WAN connection and network information.

 

The following list summarizes the necessary information.

 

WAN - Network Service (PPP/RFC 1483) information, ATM VC information

 

IP - IP addresses, address translation tables, static routes, RIP usage.

 

IPX - IPX network address information, static routes and services, RIP usage.

 

￿Bridging - Enable or disable bridging to the remote site.

 

If you need to connect to multiple remote sites (i.e., the Internet and a remote

 

office) you should set up a remote site profile for each location.

 

Remember to save your configuration using the save all command before

 

rebooting your OCR 812 so that your changes will be written to permanent FLASH

 

memory.

Managing a Remote Site You can obtain a list of all currently configured VC profiles using the command:

￿list vcs

You can view the contents of a particular profile using the command: show vc <vc name>

The OCR 812 always has a default profile. Any value that is not set in a profile that you create will assume the values that are present in the default profile. The default profile cannot be created or deleted, but it can be modified using the set vc command.

profile using the command:

￿VC profiles can be enabled or disabled. When a profile is enabled using the enable vc command, the OCR 812 reads the connection parameters for the remote site from the profile and continuously attempts to establish a connection to the remote site.

When a profile is disabled using the disable vc command, the connection will be terminated and no other data will be directed to the remote site. Configuration changes to a remote site profile do not take effect until the next time the profile is enabled. Thus, if you want to make changes to the profile you should disable the profile, make your changes, and then re-enable the profile.
