MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide 9-9
Figure 9-6. Creating a subnet for the M AX
You can place the MAX unit on a subnet of that network by including a subnet mask in the IP
address specification. For example:
1Open Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options.
2Set the IP Adrs parameter to specify the IP subnet address for the MAX on the Ethernet
network. For example:
Ethernet
Mod Config
Ether options…
IP Adrs=10.2.3.1/24
3Set the RIP parameter to specify that the MAX receives RIP updates from the local GRF
router:
RIP-Recv=v2
4Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
With this subnet address, the MAX unit requires a static route to the backbone router on the
main network. Otherwise, it can only communicate with devices on the subnets to which it is
directly connected. To create the static route and make the backbone router the default route:
1Open the Default IP Route profile in the Static Rtes menu.
2Set the Gateway parameter to specify the IP address of a backbone router. For example:
Ethernet
Static Rtes
Default
Name=Default
Active=Yes
Dest=0.0.0.0/0
Gateway=10.0.0.17
Preference=100
Metric=1
DownPreference=140
DownMetric=7
Private=Yes
3Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
For more information about IP Route profiles, see “Configuring IP routes” on page 9-55.
To verify that the unit is connected to the local network, invoke the terminal-server interface
and Ping a local IP address or hostname. For example:
ascend% ping 10.1.2.3
10.2.3.1/24
MAX
10.0.0.0
GRF
10.0.0.17
