Table C-9. General Management Configuration Options (6 of 7)

Modem Link: PPP
Next PPP SLIP Prev
Modem Port Link Layer Protocol. Specifies the link layer protocol for the modem port if
the Modem Use configuration option is set to Mgmt.
PPP – Specifies PPP as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on the
modem port.
SLIP – Specifies SLIP protocol as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on
the modem port. The modem port must be configured for asynchronous operation to
support SLIP.
NOTE: This configuration option is available on standalone DSU/CSUs only. F
Aux IP Adr:
Next Edit Clear Prev
IP Address for the Auxiliary Port. Specifies the IP address for the auxiliary port if the
Aux Use configuration option is set to Mgmt or Daisy. The auxiliary port only supports
the PPP link protocol.
Edit – Allows you to edit and/or display the IP address for the auxiliary port.
Clear – Allows you to clear the IP address for the auxiliary port. The IP address is set to
000.000.000.000.
NOTE: This configuration option is available on standalone DSU/CSUs only. F
Aux NetMask:
Next Edit Clear Prev
Subnet Mask for the Auxiliary Port. Specifies the subnet mask for the auxiliary port if the
Aux Use configuration option is set to Mgmt or Daisy.
Edit – Allows you to edit and/or display the subnet mask for the auxiliary port.
Clear – Allows you to clear the subnet mask for the auxiliary port. The subnet mask is
set to 000.000.000.000. If the subnet mask is 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).
NOTE: This configuration option is available on standalone DSU/CSUs only. F
IPBusMast: Disab
Next Enab Disab Prev
Setting the IP Bus Master. Specifies whether or not a particular carrier-mounted unit is
the IP Bus Master. There can only be one IP Bus Master per 3000 Series Carrier.
Typically, the carrier-mounted unit that has the SNMP/Telnet management system
connected to it is the IP Bus Master. This allows for faster access to the remaining
carrier units. If an SNMP/Telnet management system is connected to another
carrier-mounted unit (i.e. not the IP Bus Master) and the SNMP/Telnet management
system tries to access another carrier-mounted unit, the data has to be routed to the IP
Bus Master first. Once the IP Bus Master receives the data, it is routed to the
appropriate slot.
Enab – This unit is the IP Bus Master. Only one IP Bus Master is allowed per 3000
Series Carrier.
Disab – This unit is not the IP Bus Master.
NOTE: This configuration option is available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs
only. Y
