Figure 162. LMS IP Port Address Table Panel
This table allows you to view and/or modify the IP addresses assigned to
each port.
The Multiprotocol Interconnect module allows you to configure up to five IP
addresses for each LAN port. This is a useful feature that can be used in the
following situations:
There are too many hosts on a LAN to be accommodated in a single IP
subnetwork.
Two separate IP subnetworks have been bridged together and you want
to use a single port on this module to route the traffic from these bridged
networks.
You must take the following into consideration when assigning IP addresses
to the ports:
Only one port per subnetwork is allowed
The same IP address may not be assigned to more than one port
IP broadcast address may not be assigned to a port
If port does not have an IP address, IP routing cannot be enabled on
that port
If no IP address is assigned to any of the ports, the IP routing function
cannot be enabled at the module level
The Multiprotocol Interconnect module can send and receive BOOTP
messages on a port with no configured IP address
5. Enable IP routing globally for the module. To do so, you must select
IP
system Parameters
from the
IP Menu
.
Note: If you try to enable IP for the module, before assigning an IP address
to at least one port, your request will be rejected.
