InterProxy Configuration Page form entries
Form Entry Description
Hostname The host name and domain name assigned to the InterProxy. This entry is typically
configured using the EON console interface configure
command.
CAUTION
If an invalid host name is submitted for a system that requires service
from a DNS nameserver, access using DNS will be lost.
IP Address -
primary port
(ETH 0)
IP address for the YWS ETH 0 interface. This entry must be valid
for the host
network, and is typically configured using the EON console interface configure
command.
CAUTION
If you submit a new IP address for ETH 0, users will not be able to
access any of the YesWare modules using the old IP address. Any
administrators, operators of a YesWare system must be informed of
the new ETH 0 IP address.
Network Mask -
primary port
(ETH 0)
Network mask (also called the subnet mask) for the YWS ETH 0 interface. This
entry must be valid for the host network, and is typically configured using the EON
console interface configure
command.
CAUTION
Loss of communication with the ETH 0 port will result if an invalid
network mask is entered.
Gateway Address Network gateway IP address used by the YWS. This entry must be valid
for the
host network. The gateway address is typically obtained from the host network
administrator and configured using the EON console interface configure
command.
CAUTION
Loss of communication between the InterProxy and the Internet (or
main corporate network) may result if an invalid gateway address is
entered.
IP Address -
secondary port
(ETH 1)
Enter the IP address selected for the InterProxy ETH 1 port. This is the physical
connection to the InterProxy-VBN system. The YesWare system administrator can
assign any subnet IP address, provided that it meets the standard subnet criteria
as defined by Internet RFC 950 (1985). Elastic Networks recommends using the
default 10.237.1.1
.
Network Mask -
secondary port
(ETH 1)
Enter the network mask for the InterProxy ETH 1 port. This mask is used by the
InterProxy subnet. Your network administrator can assign any valid subnet mask.
Elastic Networks suggests using 255.0.0.0, which is a Class A subnet address, to
ensure the network will not run out of network mask addresses.
