6.1.1.3 Assigning a Specific IP Address for a Site

To require that incoming callers to a particular site use a specific IP address, use the Define Site IP

Remoteaddress command.

Figure 6-3: Specifying a Specific IP Address

When an incoming caller requests an IP address, the requested address is compared to this address. If they

match, the caller will use the address. If the addresses do not match, the SCS terminates the call.

6.1.2 IP Addresses For Outgoing Connections

By default, when a new site is defined, the SCS IP address on that interface will be the IP address assigned

with the Define Site IP Address command.

Remote hosts may require that the SCS have a certain IP address on that interface. For example, a remote

host may require that RIP updates be received from a particular IP address, or an address within a certain

range. In these cases, a site-specific IP address may be configured for a particular interface. For example,

site irvine may configure the SCS IP address on its interface as 193.20.339.2, and site dallas may configure

the SCS address on its interface as 192.20.338.0.

To change the IP address for a particular site’s interface, use the Define Site IP Address command.

6.1.2.1 SLIP

SLIP does not support negotiation of IP addresses. If a SLIP user requires the same IP address for each

Figure 6-5: Specifying IP Address with Set SLIP Command

If the port receiving the incoming call is dedicated to SLIP, a specific IP address may be assigned via a

custom site. To define the address for the site, use the Define Site IP Remoteaddress command.

Figure 6-6: Specifying IP Address for a Custom Site

If the user does not require the same address for each login, an address may be dynamically assigned from

the address pool. To configure the range of addresses in the pool, use the Set/Define IP Ethernet Pool

command. You must specify both the beginning and end of the address range.
