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
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.
