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 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, IP RIP 2, or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
•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. To set parameters for OSPF, refer to the Compa- tiView Management Software Reference Guide.
TB: Use configure and the RIPVersion keyword for the IP Ethernet 0 section. Use edit config and add static routes in the IP Static section.
WAN Interface Configuration
In order to use a WAN interface, you may first need to set some phys- ical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.
The
Physical Communications Settings
You may need to set the baud rate, sync/async operation, and other physical communications parameters for the WAN interface. These
