9 Assigning an IP address to the LAN interface
An IP address must be assigned to that interface.
The HTML server is located at that IP address.
To assign an IP address to the LAN interface,
• select the “IP protocol and IP routing” menu and then the IP menu;
• enter the IP address, the netmask and the default gateway address.
10 IP routing and broadcast filtering
The SHDSL XSRING switch is an Ethernet switch; it works like any usual
switch and it is able to transmit any upper level protocol.
It is why, generally, it is not necessary to enable the IP routing function.
However, the IP routing feature can be used in particular cases, to avoid
to transfer multicast or broadcast frames or other traffic towards the
SHDSL link.
In that case, to make IP routing possible,
1. The SHDSL network has to be set as an IP network. An IP address
must be assigned to the SHDSL interfaces of the XSRING.
2. The network connected to the LAN interface of the XSRING must be a
different IP network from the SHDSL IP network and from other networks.
For instance, referring to the drawing below, if the XSRING Nr 1 is used
as a router, the IP @ of the network 1 must be different from any other
network : SHDSL network, network 2, network 3.
