Configuration Options

Table C-12. Communication Protocol Configuration Options (2 of 2)

Default Net Destination: None

None Com FDL EDL1 EDL2

Specifies where the default network is connected. For example, if the default network is connected to the communication port, you select Com. If the default network is connected to the far-end 31xx Series device over the FDL, you select FDL. The routing protocol uses the default network destination to route data that does not have a specific route.

None – No default network destination. Data that cannot be routed is discarded.

Com – The default network destination is the communication port. This selection only appears if the Port Use configuration option is set to Mgmt.

FDL – The default network destination is FDL. This selection only appears if the FDL management link is enabled.

EDLn – The default network destination is the EDLn port (where n is 1 or 2). This selection only appears if the synchronous data port’s EDL management link is enabled.

NOTE: If the chosen default network link is disabled or down, data is discarded. Choose another default network.

Communication Port IP Address: Text Field

Text Field Clear

Specifies the IP address for the communication port if the Port Use configuration option is set to Mgmt.

Text Field – Allows you to edit or display the IP address for the communication port.

Clear – Allows you to clear the IP address for the communication port. The IP address is set to 000.000.000.000.

Communication Port Subnet Mask: Text Field

Text Field Clear

Specifies the subnet mask for the communication port if the Port Use configuration option is set to Mgmt.

Text Field – Allows you to edit or display the subnet mask for the communication port.

Clear – Allows you to clear the subnet mask for the communication port. The subnet mask is set to 000.000.000.000. If the subnet mask is 000.000.000.000, the IP protocol creates a default subnet mask based on the class of the IP address (Class A: 255.000.000.000, Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000).

Com Link Protocol: PPP

PPP SLIP

Specifies the link layer protocol for the communication port if the Port Use configuration option is set to Mgmt.

PPP– Specifies PPP as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on the communication port.

SLIP – Specifies SLIP as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on the communication port. The communication port must be configured for asynchronous operation to support SLIP.
