WAN Configuration

The DELHW-UA and its port interface modules; WAN redundancy; the WAN Logical View; changing WAN Logical settings

The DELHW-UA Wide Area Networking (WAN) modular interface available for the DLE32-MA, DLE33-MA, and other MultiSwitch 700 modules provides LAN- to-WAN switching for the MultiSwitch 700 chassis. It supports IP and IPX bridging or routing services — including IP RIP — and multiple WAN connectivity options via two port interface module slots.

About the DELHW-UA

Unlike other modular interfaces designed for the MultiSwitch 700 boards, the DELHW-UA module functions as an independent intelligent device with its own IP address. As such, it must be managed separately from the MultiSwitch 700 chassis and the board on which it is installed. This chapter provides information on configuring and managing the WAN capabilities of the various port modules available for the DELHW-UA.

The WAN functionality described in this chapter is accessed from the DELHW- UA’s Device View. See The DELHW-UA Device View, on page 2-75of Chapter 2, The MultiSwitch 700 Device View, for instructions on launching the DELHW- UA Device View. Other DELHW-UA Device View functions, such as finding a source address and changing the device time and date, are also described there.

NOTE

A Windows 95- and NT-based utility called QuickSET for the DELHW-UA was shipped with your DELHW-UA. This program is designed for point-and-click installation and set-up of DELHW-UA devices. Currently, QuickSET should be used to configure all port interface module settings and routing/bridging protocols, including those port interface modules not currently supported by NetSight Element Manager. See your QuickSET documentation for more information. Future releases of NetSight Element Manager will support the DELHW-UA more comprehensively.
