Configuring the DSL Router
DSL Router Configuration Overview
Hotwire DSL Routers support various customer premises distribution networks
that contain IP forwarding devices or routers, as well as locally attached hosts
or subnets. The Hotwire DSL Router’s IP Routing Table contains IP address and
subnet mask information.
The DSL router supports Internet Protocol, as specified in RFC 791, and Internet
Control Message Protocol (ICMP), as specified in RFCs 792 and 950. It acts as a
router (or gateway), as defined in RFC 791. It also acts as a bridge, bridging all
traffic in the service domain, or routing IP traffic and bridging all other traffic in the
service domain, without affecting traffic in the management domain.
For more information on supported RFCs, refer to Appendix C, Traps and MIBs.
The DSL Router’s Interfaces
Hotwire DSL Routers have two interfaces: the DSL interface and the Ethernet
interface.
DSL Interface
The router’s interface type is determined by its model number:
— Models 6301 and 6302 are Hotwire IDSL Routers.
— Models 6341 and 6342 are Hotwire SDSL Routers.
— Model 6351 is the Hotwire ReachDSL Router.
— Model 6371 is the Hotwire RADSL Router.
The DSL interface has a unique MAC address, assigned before the router is
shipped.
