Notes: Static ARP entries, isolated mode, static route lookup via RADIUS, and IP address pool capabilities are not available in IP host operating mode. IP operating mode can not be set to host unless bridging is enabled. The network interface information required will also be different if the IP host operating mode is configured.

IP OPERATING MODE CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS

IP OPERATING MODE

The IP operating mode may be configured as either router or host. The default is IP router operating mode.

IP OPERATING MODE BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The IP router operating mode provides a broad range of IP routing capabilities, including support for static ARP entries, isolated mode, static route lookup, and IP address pool. IP router operating mode requires each network interface to have a different subnet number assigned to it.

The IP host operating mode allows the management of a device using IP applications (such as Telnet and SNMP) while operating as a bridge. IP host mode is useful in situations where segmenting a network into subnets is not desirable, but remote management is required. Bridging must be enabled before IP host mode is enabled. Only one IP address is assignable, and this IP address is not associated with any physical interface. All IP traffic destined for the system is processed
