WAN and System Configuration 8-7

When using Frame Relay datalink encapsulation on a permanent circuit, you may require that the frame relay DLCIs explicitly match up to your connection profile, or you may allow your Frame Relay network to automatically confirm this by using the Default Profile.

Customizing the Default Profile

The Default Profile screen controls whether or not an IDSL link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. See “Creating a new Connection Profile” on page 8-1for more information. You access the Default Profile screen from the Main Menu by selecting WAN Configuration and then selecting Default Profile.

You can set Must Match a Defined Profile item to Yes or No (the default). This item controls whether or not the IDSL link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. If your ISP is serving you a dynamic IP Address, you need not explicitly configure a connection profile, and the default behavior of the router will be to connect automatically once it is powered on.

If Must Match a Defined Profile is set to No, then an IP Enabled item is visible. Toggling this item to Yes (the default) or No controls whether or not IP will be supported on the IDSL link. If IP Enabled is set to Yes, an IP Parameters item becomes visible. If you select IP Parameters the IP Parameters screen appears (see “IP parameters (default profile) screen” on page 8-8). This screen allows you to configure various IP parameters for IDSL connections established without an explicitly configured connection profile.

If Must Match a Defined Profile is set to No, then an IPX Enabled item is visible. Toggling this item to Yes or No (the default) controls whether or not IPX will be supported on the IDSL link. If IPX Enabled is set to Yes, an IPX Parameters item becomes visible. If you select IPX Parameters, the IPX Parameters screen appears (see “IPX parameters (default profile) screen” on page 8-10). This screen allows you to configure various IPX parameters for IDSL connections established without an explicitly configured connection profile.
