Chapter 2. Installing 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module

Basic unit installation program version 4.6.5

Press return to keep the default value

Network configuration inside:

Physical device name[eth0]:

IP address [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.242

Netmask/bits [255.255.255.0]: 255.255.0.0

Deactivate other interfaces? (y/n) [n]

Computers from which configuration is allowed:

You can select either a single computer or a network.

Configure from a single computer? (y/n) [y]

If you choose to allow only one computer to configure the Telecommuting Module, you are asked for the IP address (the netmask is set automatically).

IP address [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.240

If this IP address is not on the same network as the inside of the Telecommuting Module, you are asked for the router. Enter the IP address of the router on the network where the Telecommuting Module is connected. Now enter the network address and mask of the network containing the configuring computer.

Static routing:

The computer allowed to configure from is not on a network local to this unit. You must configure a static route to it. Give

the IP address of the router on the network the unit is on.

The IP address of the router [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.3.1

Network address [10.47.0.0]: 10.10.0.0

Netmask [255.255.255.0]:

You can choose to allow several computers to configure the Telecommuting Module, by answering no to the question:

Configure from a single computer? (y/n) [y] n

The installation program then asks for the network number. The network number is the lowest IP address in the series of numbers that includes the configuration computers (see chapter 3, Configuring 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module). The network mask determines the number of computers that can act as configuration computers.

Network number [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.0

Netmask/bits [255.255.255.0]: 255.255.255.0
