CONFIGURING THE CAMPUS-REX2

Through the Campus-REX2 LCD, the Network Protocol (bridge or router) is selectable. The LCD indicates which network protocol is selected either by its default configuration or through a change made to the interface through the LCD or through the console port, telnet, or SNMP. For both bridge and router Network Protocol, the timing source and encapsulation can be selected.

The LCD also provides information about the network protocol that is currently configured for the Campus-REX2 such as:

•when in router mode:

–router configuration including IP addresses for both the Line and LAN ports, RIP configuration, and the DHCP service configuration

–router statistics including frames transmitted and received by the Line and LAN ports

•when in bridge mode:

–bridge configuration including the unit IP addresses and filter age (Spanning Tree Protocol, which is under this menu selection, can be enabled)

–bridge statistics including frames transmitted and received by the Line and LAN ports and error frames

For an overview of bridges, routers, and other network management concepts, see “Internetworking and Management Overview” on page 119.
