Configuring the DSL Router

DSL Router Configuration Overview

Hotwire DSL Routers support various customer premises distribution networks that contain IP forwarding devices or routers, as well as locally attached hosts or subnets. The Hotwire DSL Router’s IP Routing Table contains IP address and subnet mask information.

The DSL router supports Internet Protocol, as specified in RFC 791, and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), as specified in RFCs 792 and 950. It acts as a router (or gateway), as defined in RFC 791. It also acts as a bridge, bridging all traffic in the service domain, or routing IP traffic and bridging all other traffic in the service domain, without affecting traffic in the management domain.

For more information on supported RFCs, refer to Appendix C, Traps and MIBs.

The DSL Router’s Interfaces

Hotwire DSL Routers have two interfaces: the DSL interface and the Ethernet interface.

￿DSL Interface

The router’s interface type is determined by its model number:

Models 6301 and 6302 are Hotwire IDSL Routers.

Models 6341 and 6342 are Hotwire SDSL Routers.

Model 6351 is the Hotwire ReachDSL Router.

Model 6371 is the Hotwire RADSL Router.

The DSL interface has a unique MAC address, assigned before the router is shipped.
