Sample Network with RFC 1577
Configuration
This Appendix provides a sample network configuration to explain how the Classic
IP (CIP) over ATM functions. CIP provides the path for control of remote
Broadmore 1750s from a master control station over the ATM network.The three
possible configurations are shown in the figure on the next page. These are:
1. The master control station has Ethernet access to the Broadmore 1750
(Broadmore 1750 #1).
2. The master control station does not have Ethernet access to the Broadmore
1750 and the Broadmore 1750 does not h a ve an Ethernet local control station
(Broadmore 1750 # 2).
3. The master control station does not have Ethernet access to the Broadmore
1750 and the Broadmore 1750 has an Ethernet local control station
(Broadmore 1750 #3).
The objective is for the master control station to be able to communicate with all
three Broadmore 1750s. Th is is done by creating a subnet over the ATM. This
subnet consists of the three Broadmore 1750s; with each having a unique CIP
Ethernet address as shown. Broadmore 1750 #1 has Ethernet connectivity with the
master control station. The ARP server, which is the ATM switch or a suitable
