Configuring the Hotwire DSLAM

Configuring Subnet Addressing

To define a subnet entry, the IP address has to be entered as the lower boundary address of the subnet. Otherwise, only a host entry can be configured.

For example, a subnet with a mask of 255.255.255.192 requires one of the following IP addresses:

H255.255.255.0

H255.255.255.64

H255.255.255.128

H255.255.255.192

NOTE:

For more information about the fields listed above, see Table 4-6, Filters

Options, in Chapter 4, 8310 MVL and 8510 RADSL Card Configuration.

Configuring Subnet Masks

After the IP address is entered, a default subnet mask is displayed. The default subnet mask is based on the IP address entered and can be changed.

If the IP Address entered is . . .

Then the Default Subnet Mask is . . .

 

 

xxx.xxx.xxx.0

255.255.255.0

 

 

xxx.xxx.0.0

255.255.0.0

 

 

xxx.0.0.0

255.0.0.0

 

 

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

255.255.255.255

 

 

To configure the DSL card, a valid subnet must be used. When a Host entry is input, any valid IP address results in a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

When a Subnet entry is entered, the valid subnet mask is based on the IP address entered. A valid subnet mask must be in one of the following formats:

H255.0.0.0

H255.nnn.0.0

H255.255.nnn.0

H255.255.255.nnn

Where nnn must be: 0, 128, 192, 224, 240, 248, 252, 254.

NOTE:

For more information about the fields listed above, see Table 4-4, Bridge

Options, in Chapter 4, 8310 MVL and 8510 RADSL Card Configuration.
