RIDGING
AND
IP
This chapter shows how to configure units to operate as bridges,
using the Internet Protocol (IP) data packets between two networks
for management and control only.
Configuration steps are given for:
■ Manual configuration of the central site unit.
■ Quick Configuration of the remote unit.
■ Remote configuration of the remote unit from the central site.
Bridging and IP
It is essential to remember that a bridged network using IP for
management only, even if it consists of several segments, always has
the same IP network address for each segment. If any segment of the
network has a different IP network address, then data must be
routed to and from that network segment.
Configuration Options
When configuring a unit to bridge IP packets using a dial-up ISDN
link between a central site and one or more remote sites, it is
recommended that the central site should be configured manually
first.
The central site unit cannot be automatically configured using the
Quick Configuration facility of the unit because this facility requires a
ready-configured unit to act as a reference point.
The Quick Configuration facility should only be used at a remote site.
