Router Configuration 106
Configuring
a Port IP
Address
To configure the IAD as a router, you must assign an IP address to both
the LAN and WAN ports—each with different subnet masks.
To configure an IP address:
1. Type C on the Router Configuration menu to select Configure Port IP
address.
2. If more than one WAN port is installed or more than one PVC/DLCI
exists, the IAD displays the interfaces on this IAD (sample shown):
Available Interfaces:
1. SDSL
2. 10/100BaseT Ethernet
0. (Abort)
Type the interface number to configure.
3. The IAD displays the port table for this interface and prompts for a port.
Port VPI VCI Encapsulation Type PCR Service
1 0 40 RFC 1483 (with LLC Encap)3641 UBR
Total = 3641 cps
Maximum PCR this interface can support = 3622 cps
Select Port: [1-8]
Type the port to configure and press Enter.
4. The IAD displays the IP interfaces on the port you’re configuring:
IP interfaces on port 1:
ID IPAddr IPMask Priority
0 91.1.8 255.255.255.0 NORMAL
IP Over Bridge is enabled
Enter the ID of the interface (0-7) to configure and press Enter.
5. The IAD displays the current IP address and prompts for a new one:
Enter new IP address for this interface:
(91.1.1.18) ->
Type the new IP address and press Enter.
6. The IAD displays the current subnet mask and prompts for a new one:
Current subnet mask = 255.255.255.255
Enter new subnet mask for this interface:
(255.255.255.255) ->
Type the new subnet mask address and press Enter.
7. The IAD prompts you to determine traffic priority on this port:
Select priority Normal/High [N/H] (N):
Do one of the following:
a. Set the interface to high priority—type H.
b. Set the interface to normal priority—type N.
NOTE
You can assign up to 8 IP addresses on each of the WAN
and LAN ports.
