42 Chapter 2. Planning for Router Configuration
For the ATM WAN Interface
This information is obtained from the Network Administrator or the Network Service Provider.
Source (Target/Local) WAN Port Address and Mask
You must specify a Source WAN IP address for the WAN connection to the remote router (whether or
not Network Address Translation is enabled. The Source WAN address is the address of the local router
on the remote network. The mask is the mask used on the remote network. Check with your system
administrator for details.
TCP/IP Remote Routes
If you are using FRF8, the IP route includes an IP address, subnet mask, metric (a number representing
the perceived cost in reaching the remote network or station). Check with your system administrator for
details.
A TCP/IP Default Route should be designated in the routing table for all traffic that cannot be directed
to other specific routes.
You will need to define the default route to a remote router or, in special circumstances, define an
Ethernet gateway. There can be only one default route specified.
Dual-Ethernet Router Configuration
General Information on Dual Ethernet router
To configure the Dual-Ethernet router, access the router using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI
can be accessed from a Telnet or a console session (using the console cable) connected to the routerÕs default
IP address of 192.169.254.254. You can also configure the router using the Web browser GUI. Refer to the
Dual-Ethernet Router Quick Start Guide.
The Dual-Ethernet router has two interfaces:
ETH/0Ñrefers to the routerÕs hub with four 10Base-T connectors
ETH/1Ñrefers to the single 10Base-T connector (or the second hub on the new hardware model)
Bridging is enabled by default when the router boots up. IP and IPX routing are disabled.
The routerÕs default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
DHCP is enabled by default and the routerÕs DHCP server issues IP addresses to any PC request. The DHCP
default IP pool is 192.168.254. 2 through 192.168.254.20.
To connect to the router, use the routerÕs default IP address using a Telnet session, for example, and any
10Base-T port on the router.
Warning: You cannot boot from the ETH/1 interface.
Configuring the Dual-Ethernet Router as a Bridge
This router is configured by default as a bridge and no configuration steps are needed. The user needs only
establish a connection to the remote location (to the Internet Service Provider, for example).
Bridging is enabled by default when the router boots up. IP and IPX routing are disabled.
