CONFIGURING THE REX2 3
The Campus-REX2 RS is a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface card that provides connectivity for LAN services. The Campus-REX2, as its default configuration, provides IEEE 802.1d transparent MAC level bridging. You can change the default configuration to routing and set the appropriate IP parameters for the LINE and LAN. Also, you can set up parameters for SNMP management.
You can use the Campus-REX2 with its default settings that include bridge mode, cHDLC encapsulation, and Spanning Tree protocol set to disabled. If, however, you require to change any of these parameters for implementing your network, use the procedures in this chapter.
You can also configure SNMP parameters which provide a way to manage the Campus-REX2 system over a network.
Some of the bridging parameters can also be configured through the LCD menus. See “Using the LCD for Configuration and Management” on page 97 for instruction. For an overview of bridges, routers, and other network management concepts, see “Internetworking and Management Overview” on page 119.
The Campus-REX2 supports forwarding larger-sized VLAN frames. There is no configuration required to pass VLAN traffic with frame sizes between 64 and 1536 bytes.
