NetMask:

Next Edit Clear Prev

Subnet Mask for the DSU/CSU. Specifies the subnet mask needed to access the DSU/CSU. Since this subnet mask is not bound to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via the FDL or EDL management link.

Edit – Allows you to edit and/or display the subnet mask for the DSU/CSU.

Clear – Allows you to clear the subnet mask for the DSU/CSU. 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).

Com IP Adr:

Com Port IP Address. Specifies the IP address for the communication port if the Com Use configuration option is set to Mgmt or Daisy.

Edit – Allows you to edit or display the IP address for the communication port.

Clear – Allows you to clear the IP address for the communication port. The IP address is set to 000.000.000.000.

NOTE: This configuration option is not available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs if the communication port is disabled.

Com NetMask:

Subnet Mask for the Communication Port. Specifies the subnet mask for the communication port if the Com Use configuration option is set to Mgmt or Daisy.

Edit – Allows you to edit and/or display the subnet mask for the communication port.

Clear – Allows you to clear the subnet mask for the communication 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 not available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs if the communication port is disabled.

Com Link: PPP

Next PPP SLIP Prev

Com Port Link Layer Protocol. Specifies the link layer protocol for the communication port if the Com Use configuration option is set to Mgmt or Daisy.

PPP– Specifies PPP as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on the communication port.

SLIP – Specifies SLIP as the link layer protocol for the IP management link on the communication port. The communication port must be configured for asynchronous operation to support SLIP. This selection does not appear if the Com Use configuration option is set to Daisy.

NOTE: This configuration option is not available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs if the communication port is disabled.
