Configuring the Location Table
8-6 PortMaster Configuration Guide
Setting the Destination IP Address
The destination IP address is the IP address expected on the system at the remote end of
the dial-out connection.
For PPP connections, you can either specify an IP address or have it negotiated. If you
enter 255.255.255.255 (negotiated) for the destination IP address, the PortMaster learns
the IP address of the remote system during PPP IPCP negotiation.
For SLIP connections and locations set for on-demand dialing, enter the IP address or a
valid hostname of the system at the remote end of the connection.
Note – Assigned addresses are not supported for dial-out locations.
To set the destination IP address for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname destination Ipaddress
Setting the Destination Netmask
If the host or network on the remote end of the connection requires a netmask, you
must define it in the location table.
To set the destination netmask for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname netmask Ipmask
Setting the IPX Network Number
If you are using the IPX protocol, you must assign a unique IPX network number to the
network connection between the remote host and the PortMaster. Enter the IPX
network number in the hexadecimal format described in Appendix A, “Networking
Concepts.” The number can consist of up to eight characters. The number is used only
for the serial link, and must be different from the IPX network numbers used for
Ethernets at either end.
To set the IPX network number for a location, use the following command:
Command> set location Locname ipxnet Ipxnetwork
Note – Do not set a value of all 0s (zeros) or all Fs for the IPX network numbers.
