Configuring IP Protocol
IP networks require devices to be configured with unique IP addresses. Depending
on network topology, other parameters may have to be set. You will have to set up
the IP parameters for the 833IS itself and establish IP parameters for the WAN
client's dialing in to the 833IS.
For IP, the 833IS looks like a router between two networks. The first network is
comprised of the devices on the LAN. The second network, referred to as the
"Internal WAN network", is comprised of all IP clients and routers that are dialed
into the WAN ports. Setting up a basic 833IS IP configuration requires the
following:
■
Defining the network on the LAN side, and defining the address of the LAN
router port.
■
Defining the network on the WAN side, and defining the address of the WAN
router port.
All clients dialed into the WAN, see the same address for this WAN router port.
■
Each client dialing in requires a unique IP address. The 833IS supports multiple
methods for defining and supplying IP addresses to clients.
For the 833IS router to be able to route IP packets, it has to know how to reach the
destination. The 833IS supports the following methods:
■
RIPV1 and RIPV2.
■
Default gateway.
■
Static routes.
■
Proxy ARPs.
It may be desirable to restrict certain IP traffic. The 833IS has the following features
that can be used to do this:
■
Static routers.
■
IP Packet filters.
The 833IS has the ability to forward the address of a DNS or WINS server to a dial
in client.
