IP OPTION CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS

IP OPERATIONAL STATUS

You can enable or disable the Internet Protocol (IP) option. The default is disabled.

IP BACKGROUND INFORMATION

When IP is enabled, the system acts as a router, routing IP datagrams based on IP address information. The default configuration is IP disabled.

Note: If the bridge and the IP options are enabled, the CyberSWITCH will act as a brouter. A brouter operates as a router for protocols it can route, and operates as a bridge for protocols it cannot route.

IP OPERATING MODE

The operating mode may be either host or router. The router operating mode is the default. The IP host mode (which allows you to use IP applications, such as Telnet and SNMP, on a bridged network) is a selectable option.

The Simple Remote Bridging chapter of the Examples Guide provides an example of a simple bridged network that uses the IP host operating mode for the purpose of easy administrative access.
