Configuration

Table 3-9. Node IP Options (1 of 2)

Node IP Address

Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000 ± 223.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)

Specifies the IP address needed to access the node. Since an IP address is not bound to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a management PVC.

001.000.000.000 ± 223.255.255.255 ± Shows the IP address for the node, which can be viewed or edited.

Clear ± Fills the node IP address with zeros.

Node Subnet Mask

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 ± 255.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the subnet mask needed to access the node. Since the subnet mask is not bound to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a management PVC.

000.000.000.000 ± 255.255.255.255 ± Shows the subnet mask for the node, which can be viewed or edited.

Clear ± Fills the node subnet mask with zeros. When the node's subnet mask is

all zeros, the IP protocol creates a default subnet mask based upon 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.

Default IP Destination

Possible Settings: None, COM, PVCname

Default Setting: None

Specifies an IP destination to route data that does not have a specifically defined route.

Examples:

HIf the default IP network is connected to the communications port, select COM.

HIf the default IP network is connected to a far-end device over the management PVC named London for the remote device located in the London office, select the PVC name London (as defined by the Name configuration option, Table 3-10, Management PVC Options).

NOTE: If the link to the IP destination selected as the default route becomes disabled or down, the unrouteable data will be discarded. Make sure that the link selected is operational, and if that link goes down, change the default destination.

CAUTION: Use care when configuring a default route to an interface that has a subnet route configured at a remote end where the NMS, router, LAN adapter, terminal server, etc. is connected. Communicating with an unknown IP address on the subnet will cause temporary routing loops, which will last 16 iterations times the retry count.

None ± No default network destination is specified. Unrouteable data will be discarded. This is the recommended setting.

COM ± Specifies that the default destination is connected to the COM port. Only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link (see Table 3-15,Communication Port Options).

PVCname ± Specifies a name for the management PVC. Only appears when a management PVC name is defined for the node. For example, when the network is connected to a remote device located in the London office, London can be specified as the PVC name, which is the link between the local FrameSaver unit and the one located in London. London would appear as one of the available selections.
