IP Setup
The IP Setup dialog box allows you change the IP routing capabilities, add or delete logical WANs,
enable the DHCP relay agent, assign DNS address, and define default and static routes. The initial
routing capabilities were established during the software installation. You can change IP routing
parameters by clicking on the Advanced tab and changing, for example, the RIP Response Time or
RIP Route Aging Time. The WAN tab allows you to change the WAN port IP address, the remote
address, and if logical WAN ports are being added for frame relay, you can add them by clicking on
the Add button.
The Ethernet IP Setup dialog box displays the parameters for your Ethernet port with the IP Address
established during the initial loading of the software.
An IP address is a combination of a network number and a host number or ID. IP address masks are
used to specify the network or subnet portion of the IP address. IP addresses and masks are 32-bit
values. These are usually provided in what is known as the dotted decimal notation. In this notation,
each 8-bit portion of the address is given a decimal quantity separated by a dot. For example,
192.2.10.1. The MultiFRAD expects all IP addresses to be provided in dotted decimal notation.
Among IP addresses, address 0.0.0.0 and 127.?.?.? cannot be specified as they are special case
addresses not used on the internetwork for addressing. For Class A, B, and C addresses, you will
usually specify address masks of 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0 respectively unless other
subnets have been set up.
The net mask specifies the network or subnet portion of an IP address. The net mask is a 32-bit
value presented in a dotted decimal notation.
From the Ethernet IP Setup dialog box you can switch to the WAN IP Setup dialog box or the
Advanced IP Setup dialog box.
The WAN IP Setup dialog box allows you to disable or enable IP routing on the WAN port, change the
port IP Address, mask, and remote IP address. If the WAN port is configured for frame relay, this
dialog box allows you to add logical WANs. How the logical IP WAN ports are configured is controlled
by the WAN Port Setup dialog box.
