MULTIPROTOCOL ROUTING BETWEEN TWO LANS

Remote/Home Office Accessing the Corporate LAN

The following steps can be used to set up the Express XL/XLT on a remote LAN to access a corporate or central LAN using demand dial and dynamic bandwidth management.

1.Connect the 10BaseT cable from the hub to the Express XL/XLT. Select TO HUB on the Express XL/XLT back panel. The LI indicator should be illuminated.

2.Set the IP address and Subnet Mask assigned by the network administra- tor in the Configuration/IP menu.

3.For the Default Gateway, enter the IP address of the access server at the remote site. This creates a default route in the IP routing table that will be used with the dial-on-demand feature in the Express XL/XLT.

4.Use the arrow keys to get to the Configuration/IPX menu. Set the Net- work value to the IPX network supplied by the network administrator. Set the Seed Status to Seed. Arrow left and save the changes with a y when prompted.

5.Move to the Configuration/Connection List. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor over the Num column. Type I to insert a new entry.

6.Move the cursor over the Description field and press Enter. A pop up window appears in which to enter a name for this Connection List profile.

7.Move the cursor over the Authentication menu and press Return. This will place the authentication parameters into the right pane.

8.Enter the username and password under Tx Username and Tx Password. These items should be provided by the administrator at the site being dialed.

9.Use the down arrow to display the IP menu parameters in the right pane.

10.Move the cursor over the Route menu and press Return.
