RADSL Card Configuration

Table 3-3. Interfaces Options (2 of 3)

IP Network A-C-B

Allows you to configure up to 16 IP addresses for a port. Configure one IP address for each service domain on the DSL card.

IP Interface – Name of the interface. Enter up to 15 characters. s1b = backplane; e1a = Ethernet port; s1c, s1d, s1e, and s1f = DSL ports.

Base IP Addr – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. (This field is read-only.)

Base Subnet Mask – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. (This field is read-only.)

IP Addr – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. (You may enter up to 16 addresses for LANs.) Only appears if e1a is the IP interface name.

Subnet Mask – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. (You may enter one for each address above.) Only appears if e1a is the IP interface name.

Input Filter – Optional. (Blank to disable filtering.) Prevents unwanted packets from entering the RADSL card through a specified interface.

Output Filter – Optional. (Blank to disable filtering.) Prevents unwanted packets from going out of the RADSL card through a specified interface.

Source Routing – Directs data to the correct address. Set to enable for networks with multiple ISPs. Leave blank to disable filtering. If you disable source routing for an interface, any existing source route for that interface is removed from the active routing table. Source routing should be disabled on the e1a interface for most installations. Use care when enabling source routing on the e1a interface as it can create routing loops. (Default = Disable for e1a interface or Enable for s1x interface).

Peer IP Address – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. IP address associated with the other end of the link; i.e., the 5446 RTU. This field does not appear if the card is an 8540 or if e1a is the IP interface name.

Route to Peer – Net or Host. Must be Net for s1b. Routing method used to get to peer (i.e., host or net). This field does not appear if the card is an 8540 or if e1a is the IP interface name.

NOTE: If you have made any changes to this screen, you must do a card reset or restart the Ethernet interface.

Control (Control Interface) A-C-C

Gives the user the ability to restart, stop, and monitor (up, down, or testing) the current state of an interface.

This screen is populated depending on your entry in the Command and Interface Name fields. For example, if you select Monitor mode and enter s1b for the Interface name, the following information is displayed: Type, State, Link protocol, IP state, Uptime, Inactive, Connect time, Port, Local IP addr, and Peer IP addr.
