Configure the WAN Port

Set the Name Service

The INA module supports either the NIS or the DNS. See the PortMaster Configuration Guide for more information on name services.

Use these commands to set the name service:

Command> set namesvc dnsnis

Command> save all

Once the name service is set, you must set the address of your NIS or DNS name server and enter the domain name of your network.

Set the Name Server

The INA module supports RFC 1877, which allows remote hosts also supporting

RFC 1877 to learn the name of a server through PPP negotiation. You must provide the IP address of the name server if you use a name service.

Use the following command to set the name server:

￿

Command>

set

nameserver Ipaddress

Command>

save

all

Note – You can disable the use of a name service by setting the name server’s IP address

to 0.0.0.0.

 

 

Set the Domain Name

The domain name is used for hostname resolution. If you are using DNS or NIS, you must set a domain name for your network.

Command> set domain String

Configure the WAN Port

ComOS automatically creates a WAN port that makes the high-speed dedicated connection to the INA module. For example, if four PRI channels numbered 5, 6, 7, 8 have been assigned to the INA module, ComOS creates WAN port W4. With a data capacity of 4 x 64Kbps or 256Kbps.

The WAN port number assigned by ComOS is based on the lowest channel number used by the channel group minus one. For example, if T1/PRI channels 12, 13, 14, and 15 are assigned to the INA module, port W11 is assigned to the group.

All data channels assigned to the INA module are initially placed in channel group 1. If necessary you can configure the channel rate for this channel group.

More than one WAN port can be configured if different groups of T1/PRI channels serve more then one destination. Additional WAN ports must be separately configured with IP address, netmask, protocol, channel speed, and any other desired parameters. See “Set Up Additional WAN Ports” on page 5-6.
