This section describes how to configure IP routing connections. It describes
typical host software requirements and includes the following example
configurations:
Example host connection with static address
Example router connection
Example router connection on a subnet
Note:
The most common cause of trouble in initially establishing an IP
connection is incorrect configuration of the IP address or subnet specification for
the remote host or calling device.
Checking remote host requirements
IP hosts, such as UNIX systems, Windows or OS/2 PCs, or Macintosh systems,
must have appropriately configured TCP/IP software. A remote host calling into

UNIX systems typically include a TCP/IP stack, DNS software, and other
software, files, and utilities used for Internet communication. UNIX network
