IP Networking Address Scenario
F-2 3166-A2-GB20-10November 1998
The choice of a host address within a given subnet is completely arbitrary.
Choose any legal host address for a given subnet, without regard to the local
or remote devices.
Although the default route (to the NMS) is configurable for all devices, only
devices that have a direct external connection to an NMS (via the COM or
AUX ports) need a default route set. In the following examples, the default
port (COM or AUX) is set in the device connected to the LAN Adapter.
Scenario 1
The first scenario (Figure F-1) is a series of standalone 31xx Series devices daisy
chained together, with remotes connected via the FDL. In this scenario, all 31xx
Series devices are on the same subnet (135.18.1.0). The subnet mask for each
device is FF.FF.FF.00. A static route is set in the NMS host to subnet 135.18.1.0.
