Paradyne CSU, DSU, 9126-II, 9128-II manual Node IP Options 2, TS Access Management Link

4. Configuration Options

Table 4-17. Node IP Options (2 of 3)

Default IP Destination

Possible Settings: None, Modem, COM, Ethernet, PVCname

Default Setting: None

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

Examples:

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

If 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 4-18, 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.

Modem – Specifies that the default destination is connected to the modem port. Only appears when the modem port Use option is set to Net Link.

COM – Specifies that the default destination is connected to the COM port. Only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link (see Table 4-24, Communication Port Options).

Ethernet – For the FrameSaver SLV 9126-II or 9128-II, specifies that the default destination is connected to the Ethernet port. Only appears when the Ethernet port’s Interface Status option is enabled. When selected, the Default Gateway Address must also be configured (see Table 4-23, Ethernet Management 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.

TS Access Management Link

Available Settings: None, PVCname

Default Setting: None

Specifies a troubleshooting management link for the special needs of network service providers.

If the setting is changed from the management PVC name to None, the Delete the Management PVC PVCname and the associated DLCI Record? prompt appears. If you select:

TNo – The link designation is removed and the option is set to None.

Yes – The link designation is removed and the option is set to None, and the link and its DLCI will be deleted.

None – Disables or does not specify a TS Access Management Link.

PVCname – Specifies the name of the TS Management PVC.

Display Conditions – This selection only appears when a dedicated management PVC has been defined on the network frame relay link as a DLCI with DLCI Type set to Standard.
