1.1 Conventions Used in This Chapter

Bold typeface—Commands and keywords. Enter the syntax exactly as shown.

Italics—Mandatory parameters that have values. Enter text or numbers in place of the italicized parameter name.

[ ]—Brackets enclose optional parameters.

—Vertical bars separate mutually exclusive keywords. Enter only one keyword.

[ x y z ]—Choose one and only one of the options (X, Y, Z), or choose none.

{ }—Curly brackets enclose a list of mandatory, mutually exclusive parameters. You must choose one.

[x][y] [z]—You must choose at least one item (X, Y or Z), and you may choose more than one at the same time, e.g, x y.

<>—Chevrons enclose a list of mandatory parameters. Choose at least one, although you can include more than one.

<RETURN>—At the end of each command press <RETURN> to execute it. For clarity, some commands are shown on more than one line; do not press <RETURN> until the end of the command.

1.2 Interface Addresses

The iface[/frame_type] parameters indicate the interface and frame type. iface is specified as one of the following, depending on your Router model: eth0, sync0, modem0, modem1, modem2, modem3, or modem4. If eth0 is selected, the frame_type can be specified as part of the interface, and can be either 802.3, 802.2, SNAP or II (for Ethernet Type 2). Use a slash to separate the iface from the frame_type, e.g., eth0/802.2. If left unspecified, the default frame_type is 802.3.

For the Ethernet interface, the iface parameter is a string of the form eth0/frame_type. For all other interfaces, iface is of the form modemX. Examples are:

ethN	Ethernet N	interface, raw 802.3 frame type
ethN/802.3	Ethernet N	interface, raw 802.3 frame type
