Configuring IP Routing
Configuring WAN interfaces
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide 9-43
Figure 9-13. A connection between local and remote subnets
This example assumes that the Answer profile in each of the two devices enables IP routing.
Because the MAX unit specifies a subnet mask as part of its own IP address, the unit must use
other routers to reach IP addresses outside that subnet. To fo rward packets to o ther p arts of the
corporate network, the unit either must have a default route configuration to a router in its own
subnet (for example, the GRF router in Figure 5-12) or must enable RIP on Ethernet.
To configure the MAX unit at Site A with an IP routing connection to Site B:
1Open a Connection profile for the Site B Pipeline.
2Set the Station parameter to specify the Pipeline unit’s name, set the Active parameter to
activate the profile, and specify the desired encapsulation options. For example:
Ethernet
Connections
Connection profile 1
Station=PipelineB
Active=Yes
Encaps=MPP
Encaps options...
Send Auth=CHAP
Recv PW=localpw
Send PW=remotepw
3Set the Route IP parameter to enable IP routing, and set the LAN Adrs parameter to the IP
address of the Pipeline at Site B:
Route IP=Yes
IP options…
LAN Adrs=10.7.8.200/24
4Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
To specify the local GRF router as the MAX unit’s default route:
1Open the Default profile in the Static Rtes menu.
2Set the Gateway parameter to specify the GRF router’s address as the gateway address:
Ethernet
Static Rtes
Default
Name=Default
Active=Yes
Dest=0.0.0.0/0
Gateway=10.4.4.133
Metric=1
Preference=10
Private=Yes
Site A Site B
