Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 Ethernet manual Setting Default Gateway and Interface

CHAPTER 7: CONFIGURATION SCREEN

•the EMM-E6 does NOT provide a natural Subnet Mask that fits your host/network identifier scheme.

NOTE

Make sure to modify the Subnet Mask option in conjunction with the Default Gateway option.

To modify the Subnet Mask:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate Subnet Mask field.

2.Enter the Subnet Mask in this field in the format of XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, with XXX ranging from 0 to 255.

3.Press the Return key.

4.Repeat steps 1 - 3 for each interface you want to modify.

The IP Address Table now contains Subnet Mask information specific to your network.

7.5SETTING DEFAULT GATEWAY AND INTERFACE

The Default Gateway is the IP address of the network connection (i.e., gateway or another external router) used in forwarding management information from the EMM-E6 (e.g., SNMP traps) to a network management station.

The Default Interface is the channel that the EMM-E6 uses to access the Default Gateway. Make sure to set the Default interface to reflect the correct interface channel for the Default Gateway.

NOTE

The Default Gateway field will not allow itself to be modified until a Default Interface has been correctly configured on the EMM-E6.
