MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide 9-43
Figure 9-13. A connection between local and remote subnets
This example assumes that the Answer profile in each of the two devices enables IP routing.
Because the MAX unit specifies a subnet mask as part of its own IP address, the unit must use
other routers to reach IP addresses outside that subnet. To forward packets to other parts of the
corporate network, the unit either must have a default route configuration to a router in its own
subnet (for example, the GRF router in Figure 5-12) or must enable RIP on Ethernet.
To configure the MAX unit at Site A with an IP routing connection to Site B:
1 Open a Connection profile for the Site B Pipeline.
2 Set the Station parameter to specify the Pipeline unit’s name, set the Active parameter to
activate the profile, and specify the desired encapsulation options. For example:
Ethernet
Connections
Connection profile 1
Station=PipelineB
Active=Yes
Encaps=MPP
Encaps options...
Send Auth=CHAP
Recv PW=localpw
Send PW=remotepw
3 Set the Route IP parameter to enable IP routing, and set the LAN Adrs parameter to the IP
address of the Pipeline at Site B:
Route IP=Yes
IP options…
LAN Adrs=10.7.8.200/24
4 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
To specify the local GRF router as the MAX unit’s default route:
1 Open the Default profile in the Static Rtes menu.
2 Set the Gateway parameter to specify the GRF router’s address as the gateway address:
Ethernet
Static Rtes
Default
Name=Default
Active=Yes
Dest=0.0.0.0/0
Gateway=10.4.4.133
Metric=1
Preference=10
Private=Yes
