•GatewayIPAddr is the Internet gateway address. This is the gateway that traffic is routed through if the IGX node and workstation are on different networks. If they are on the same network, the gateway is not used. The default “none” is displayed in this case. If a gateway IP is entered and later you want to remove it, enter 192.0.0.0 opposite the prompt and “none” will again be displayed.
A cnflan screen looks like this:
D2.cb1 | LAN superuser IGX 8410 | 9.3 Feb. 27 2000 14:23 PST |

The active IP address for the workstation has been entered as the IP address selected previously for the node, 192.187.207.21. The IP Subnet mask is entered as 255.255.255.0 for a Class C LAN network. The TCP service port is entered as 5120. Because the workstation and node are on different networks in this example, a gateway address of 192.187.207.1 has been entered. If the workstation and node are both on the same network, no gateway address is needed. The “Maximum LAN Transmit Unit” and “Ethernet Address” parameters are not configurable by the cnflan command. The “Ethernet Address” is a hardware address (“burned into the NPM card”) that is unique to each NPM card.
Step 4 Connect the Cisco WAN Manager workstation and the IGX node to a LAN network. Examples are shown in Figure
Step 5 To make sure a LAN connection on the IGX LAN port is good, an example hostname of “sanfran” entered in the config.sv file, enter the following at the Cisco WAN Manager workstation:
ping sanfran
