Telnet/FTP

Setting Communication Protocol

Use the Communication Protocol Options (see Table 5-14) to specify what is
needed to support the IP communication network.

Communication Protocol
NOTE:
Be sure to choose an operational link for the default. Should the default link
become disabled, unrouteable data will be discarded.
Table 5-14. Communication Protocol Options (1 of 3)
Node IP Address
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the IP address needed to access the node. Since this IP address is not bound
to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a logical management link.
000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the node, which you
can view or edit. The first digit (i.e.,
xxx
.255.255.255) cannot be 0 or 127, or greater
than 223. However, 000 is valid, representing a null address.
Clear – Clears the Node IP address and fills the address with zeros
(i.e., 000.000.000.000).
Node Subnet Mask
Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Node Subnet Mask. Specifies the subnet mask needed to access the node. Since this
subnet mask is not bound to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a
logical management link.
000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Shows the subnet mask for the node, which you
can view or edit.
Clear – Clears the node subnet mask and fills the address with zeros. When the node
subnet mask is all zeros (i.e., 000.000.000.000), the IP protocol creates a default subnet
mask based on the class of the IP address: Class A: 255.000.000.000,
Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000.
