Configuring the Active VNID and the Next Hop Router on each DSL Port/Interface
You can configure multiple VNIDs with different next hop routers with one active
VNID configured per port/interface. For more information about the fields listed in
this procedure, see Table 3-4, Bridge Options.
Procedure
To configure the active VNID on each DSL port from the Hotwire – DSL menu:
1. Follow this menu selection sequence:
Configuration
→
Bridge
→
VNID Binding Table
(
A-E-C
)
2. Type
0
or press Enter at the
Item # (0 to add new item):
prompt.
3. Enter the DSL interface. Enter
1
through
4
for 4-port DSL cards,
1
through
12
for 12-port DSL cards, or
1
through
24
for 24-port DSL cards. Only one
interface per port is allowed.
4. Enter the number of the VNID to be assigned to this port (
2
through
4000
) at
the
Active VNID
prompt. For DSL port cards with an Ethernet network
interface, if you want a VNID that spans several DSL cards, you must specify
the same VNID number across all cards. For DSL port cards with an ATM
network interface, a VNID can span across all the ports of the same card, but
cannot span multiple cards. A pop-up menu of active VNIDs is available by
typing Ctrl-v in the Active VNID column.
5. Enter the IP address of the Next Hop Router (0–255 for each octet) at the
Default NHR
prompt, if desired. Enter a space to delete the current NHR
entry. This is an optional field. However, an NHR is required when IP Scoping
is enabled.
NOTE:
Administrator-level permission is required to enter a Default NHR.
6. Type
yes
at the
Save changes?
prompt to save your changes.
NOTE:
VNID configuration is not required in Standard mode.
