Hardwired A hardwired port is a serial port that is connected directly to another device via a serial cable (this is only possible on S0). Note that both Host Device and User Login must be disabled on Hardwired ports.

Routes Table

The routes table contains both static and dynamic routing information. Dynamic routes are updated by RIP broadcasts received from other routing devices on the network. Static routes are routes added to the table by hand. A static route to a given location will override a dynamic route that RIP generates.

Static routes to a given location are required when the location is not running RIP or when the NETServer is not listening for RIP broadcasts on the given interface. Without RIP protocol messag- ing, the NETServer cannot gather information on the location of other routers, gateways, and remote hosts and must know exactly where to send a packet.

See An Introduction to NETServer Routing in Chapter 6 for an overview of the routing process.

SNMP Configuration

The NETServer provides support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and industry standard MIB-II variables. These variables are fully described in your MIB-II documentation.

The SNMP Configuration commands let you configure what SNMP servers (if any) are permitted to make SET and GET requests, as well as what Read and Write Communities.
