Chapter 1 Configuring Interfaces and Circuits

Configuring Circuits

Use the router-discovery preference command to specify the preference level for the advertised CSS circuit IP address, relative to other devices on the same network. The value is an integer from 0 (default) to 65535. If you use the default value, you do not need to use this command.

For example, to specify a router discovery preference value of 100, enter:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-192.168.1.58])# router-discovery(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-192.168.1.58])# router-discovery preference

100

To disable router discovery, enter:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-192.168.1.58])# no router-discovery

To restore the router discovery preference value to the default of 0, enter:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-192.168.1.58])# no router-discovery

preference

Enabling and Disabling a Circuit IP

By default, the IP interface on a circuit is enabled. To disable the IP interfaces on a circuit, enter:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-172.16.6.58])# no enable

To reenable the IP interface on a circuit, use the enable command. For example:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN7-172.16.6.58])# enable

Configuring Router-Discovery Protocol Settings for a Circuit

The CSS allows you to enable Router Discovery Protocol (RDP) settings and define a router discovery preference for each circuit VLAN. RDP announces the existence of the CSS to hosts by periodically multicasting or broadcasting a router advertisement to each interface.

Use the circuit command to enter the circuit configuration mode before configuring RDP for a circuit VLAN.
