3. DSL Card Configuration
3-22 April 2001 8000-A2-GB26-50
Configuring the Active VNID and the Next Hop Router on each DSL Port/Interface
You can configure multiple VNIDs with different next hop routers with one active
VNID configured per port/interface. For more information about the fields listed in
this procedure, see Table3-4, Bridge Optio ns.
Procedure
To configure the active VNID on each DSL port from the Hotwire DSL menu:
1. Follow this menu selection sequence:
Configuration
Bridge

VNID Binding Table

(A-E-C)
2. Type 0 or press Enter at the Item # (0 to add new item): prompt.
3. Enter the DSL interface. Enter 1 through 4 for 4-port DSL cards, 1 through 12
for 12-port DSL cards, or 1 through 24 for 24-port DSL cards. Only one
interface per port is allowed.
4. Enter the number of the VNID to be assigned to this port (2 through 4000) at
the Active VNID prompt. For DSL port cards with an Ethernet network
interface, if you want a VNID that spans several DSL cards, you must specify
the same VNID number across all cards. For DSL port cards with an ATM
network interface, a VNID can span across all the ports of the same card , but
cannot span multiple cards. A pop-up menu of active VNIDs is available by
typing Ctrl-v in the Active VNID column.
5. Enter the IP address of the Next Hop Router (0255 for each octet) at the
Default NHR prompt, if desired. Enter a space to delete the current NHR
entry. This is an optional field. However, an NHR is required when IP Scoping
is enabled.
NOTE:
Administrator-level permission is required to enter a Default NHR.
6. Type yes at the Save changes? prompt to save your changes.
NOTE:
VNID configuration is not required in Standard mode.
