Simple Bridge Configuration
This section describes how to configure a simple bridge that
connects up to four network segments.
Ensure all bridge connections are in place before you start.
Initially, the bridge has no IP address. Without a unique IP address,
it cannot be remotely managed, so you must first log on to the
LinkBuilder MSH, then log on to the bridge, then set up a unique
IP address.
This simple configuration describes:
Logging on and off the bridge
Establishing operator accounts
Defining bridge information
Saving and making changes effective
Erasing all configurations
You will need to configure the bridge for your particular
installation. Write down all the changes that you make, so you
have a configuration record. We recommend that before
configuration, you look at the different bridge screens to
understand how they are linked and what information they
require.
Most screens have their own help screen. If a screen does not
have one, the general help screen is displayed.
