Description

Value/Field Size

Default

 

 

 

 

[ClientNumber]

Number of the client.

0-127

ALL

[ServerType]

IP/ATM server type.

LOCAL,

NONE

 

 

EXTERNAL, NONE

 

[ServerAddress]

ATM address of the IP/ATM server. If

13-20 byte hex-based/

NONE

 

[ServerType]states NONE or LOCAL, then

Up to 59 characters

 

 

accept the default. LOCAL means the client

 

 

 

also acts as an IP/ATM server for that VLAN

 

 

 

(virtual LAN). If [ServerType]states

 

 

 

EXTERNAL, enter the ATM address of the

 

 

 

external server.

 

 

[IPAddress]

IP address of the client.

dot decimal/

NONE

 

 

7-15 characters

 

[NetMask]

IP netmask of the client. This parameter defaults

dot decimal/

255.0.0.0,

 

to the appropriate netmask, based on the class of

7-15 characters

255.255.0.0 or

 

IP address. Must be specified only if IP subnets

 

255.255.255.0

 

are being used. Calculated from the first two

 

 

 

high bits of the IP address, so it is either

 

 

 

255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0, or 255.255.255.0. With

 

 

 

less address left, you have fewer bits to use to

 

 

 

define subnets.

 

 

[MTU]

Maximum transfer unit assigned for this client.

64 to 10160
