Cyclades-PR4000

STEP ONE

The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Fast Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.2. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most column. These parameters will be entered into the PR4000 later, after all parameters have been determined. Each parameter in this menu is explained in more detail in chapter 5 of the Installation Guide.

Menu CONFIG=>INTERFACE=>FAST ETHERNET=>NETWORK PROTOCOL=>IP

Parameter	Example		Your Application
Active or Inactive	Active enables IP communication (IPX and Transparent
	Bridge are not used in this example).
Interface Unnumbered	Numbered
Primary IP Address	100.130.130.1
Subnet Mask	255.255.255.0
Secondary IP Address	0.0.0.0 for none.
Enable Dynamic Local	No
IP Address
IP MTU	Use the preset value, 1500.	This determines whether
	or not a given IP datagram is fragmented.
NAT	Global, because NAT is not being used in this example.
ICMP Port	Inactive

	example.
