Table C-12. Communication Protocol Configuration Options (2 of 3)

Default Net Destination: None
None Com Aux FDL EDL1 EDL2
Specifies where the default network is connected. For example, if the default network is
connected to the communication port, you select Com. If the default network is
connected to the far-end 31xx Series device over the FDL, you select FDL. The routing
protocol uses the default network destination to route data that does not have a specific
route.
None – No default network destination. Data that cannot be routed is discarded.
Com – The default network destination is the communication port. This selection only
appears if the Port Use configuration option is set to Mgmt.
Aux – The default network destination is the auxiliary port. This selection only appears if
the Port Use configuration option is set to Mgmt.
FDL – The default network destination is FDL. This selection only appears if the FDL
management link is enabled.
EDL
n
– The default network destination is the EDL
n
port (where
n
is 1 or 2). This
selection only appears if the synchronous data port’s EDL management link is enabled.
NOTE: If the chosen default network link is disabled or down, data is discarded.
Choose another default network.
Communication Port IP Address:
Text Field
Text Field
Clear
Specifies the IP address for the communication port if the Port Use configuration option
is set to Mgmt or Daisy.
Text Field
– Allows you to edit or display the IP address for the communication port.
Clear – Allows you to clear the IP address for the communication port. The IP address
is set to 000.000.000.000.
Communication Port Subnet Mask:
Text Field
Text Field
Clear
Specifies the subnet mask for the communication port if the Port Use configuration
option is set to Mgmt or Daisy.
Text Field
– Allows you to edit or display the subnet mask for the communication port.
Clear – Allows you to clear the subnet mask for the communication port. The subnet
mask is set to 000.000.000.000. If the subnet mask is 000.000.000.000, the IP protocol
creates a default subnet mask based on the class of the IP address (Class A:
255.000.000.000, Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000).
Com Link Protocol: PPP
PPP SLIP
Specifies the link layer protocol for the communication port if the Port Use configuration
option is set to Mgmt or Daisy.
PPP – Specifies PPP as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on the
communication port.
SLIP – Specifies SLIP as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on the
communication port. The communication port must be configured for asynchronous
operation to support SLIP. This selection does not appear if the Port Use configuration
option is set to Daisy.
