Tasks

To configure the IAD as a router, you should complete the following tasks:

￿Configure IP addresses on the LAN and WAN ports (page 98)

￿Enable RIP poisoned reverse (recommended—page 101), add a static route (page 103), or add a default route (page 105)

￿Disable bridging globally (page 121) or by port (page 121)

￿Disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) globally (page 123) or by port (page 123)

Use this flowchart to plan your tasks, based on your router configuration requirements.
