CONFIGURING THE CYBERSWITCH OPTIONS

To begin the configuration of the system options, press 2 at the Main Menu. The options menu will then be displayed.

ENABLE/DISABLE BRIDGING

Whether or not to use bridging depends on network requirements. The RLAN interface will work either way. For this example, we will assume that we only want to route IP traffic onto the corporate LAN. Therefore, we will disable bridging on the CyberSWITCH. IP routing is already enabled as fault, so no change is necessary.

For this example, the only other IP information we need to configure is two IP interfaces. (No static routes are needed.) The next section will provide the instructions needed to configure the necessary IP interfaces.

CONFIGURING THE IP INTERFACE INFORMATION

In our example, we need to configure two types of interfaces. The LAN interface represents the system connection to the LAN IP Network 128.1.0.0. The WAN RLAN interface represents the system connection to the remote IP network 198.12.10.0.

Press 2 at the IP main menu to begin the configuration of the IP interface information. Press 1 to add an IP interface. Select the LAN interface option from the list of possible interface types.
