IP Protocol

Required for IP

These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the interface. They provide enough information for another IP node to find the inter- face (such as a Telnet client), but not enough information for routing to take place.

•IP address

•IP subnet mask

•IP broadcast address

CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box to set these param- eters.

TB: Use the configure command and the IPAddress, SubnetMask, and IPBroadcast keywords in the IP Ethernet 0 (and/or Ethernet 1) section.

Suggested for IP

These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.

•Set IP RIP 1 or IP RIP 2

•IP Static Routes

CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes.

TB: Use configure and set the RIPVersion keyword for IP Ethernet 0 (and/or Ethernet 1) section. Use edit config and add static routes in the IP Static section.

IPX Protocol

Required for IPX

There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will autoadapt to condi- tions on the Ethernet.
