Typical Applications & How to Configure Them
The router are flexible Ethernet Bridge/Routers. This section will describe how to set-up
the routers using each of its networking functions. Note that depending on the model of
unit and what interface modules are installed, some of the configuration examples may not
apply; for example, if no ISDN BRI module is installed, the sections on setting up an ISDN
PPP router would not apply.
The routers may be configured as a simple Ethernet bridge, an Ethernet IP router, an
Ethernet IPX router, or a combination of the three. When operating the router as a
combination bridge/router, simply configure each of the components separately.
Note: The configuration options described within this section are only for initial set-up and
configuration purposes. For more complete information on all of the configuration
parameters available please refer to the Menus Manual file on the accompanying
CD-ROM.
Important: The router uses FLASH memory to store the configuration information.
Configuration settings are stored to FLASH memory after there has been 30
seconds of idle time. Idle time is when there is no selection or modification of
the value in the built-in menu system. If you wish to save a configuration
immediately, enter “=” to get to the main menu, then select option 5 “Save
configuration”.
