Configuring the Ethernet Interface
4
This chapter describes how to configure PortMaster Ethernet interfaces and
subinterfaces, and includes the following topics:
• “Setting General Ethernet Parameters” on page 4-1
• “Setting IP Parameters” on page 4-3
• “Setting Ethernet IPX Parameters” on page 4-5
• “Configuring Ethernet Subinterfaces” on page 4-7
• “Setting OSPF on the Ethernet Interface” on page 4-8
Before configuring the Ethernet interface, you must make the appropriate Ethernet
connection for your needs. Refer to the relevant installation guide for your PortMaster
product for information on making the Ethernet connection.
See the
PortMaster Command Line Reference
for more detailed command descriptions and
instructions.
Setting General Ethernet Parameters
The commands described in this section allow you to configure your Ethernet interface.
In addition to specifying the protocol type (IP, IPX, or both) and address, you must
specify any routing and filtering you want on the Ethernet interface.
This subsection describes the general Ethernet settings that apply to your network
regardless of the protocol you use.
Configuring RIP Routing
As described in the
PortMaster Routing Guide
, PortMaster products automatically send and
accept route information as RIP messages.
To configure RIP routing, use the following command:
Command> set Ether0 rip on|broadcast|listen|off
