Introduction to the HSSI-10/100 RIOP Introduction to the HSSI-10/100 RIOP The HSSI-10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit switching router, allows you to connect a local Ethernet and remote corporate network. The HSSI interface has a data capacity of 44.736 Mbps, while the Ethernet interface can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the HSSI-10/100 RIOP product. Category 5 cabling is required for 100 BaseT operation. Please contact your reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for information on obtaining the correct Ethernet cabling supplies.
1 stop bit and no Flow Control. v Note: The HSSI-10/100 RIOP also has an AUX interface. This is a modem connection which should only be used in consultation with Compatible Systems Technical Support staff, who will provide instruction on its use.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration This chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the HSSI-10/100 RIOP as part of your VSR multigigabit switching router. Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is provided in the Compa- tiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration Suggested for IP These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place. • Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2 or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) •...
Suggested for DECnet Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations. WAN Interface Configuration In order to use the WAN interface, you may want to set some physical parameters. Then set up the link and protocol parameters. Physical Communications Settings Required for Dedicated Line Operation No changes from the default values are required for standard operation over a T3 line.
Note: Due to the complexity of BGP, configuration parameters for BGP are not given in this Quickstart. For help with BGP configuration parameters, and other configuration questions, refer to the Tech Support pages on the Compatible Systems Web site at: http://www.compatible.com/.
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation. Frame Relay DLCI Mappings If you are connecting to another Compatible Systems router, this information is not required for Frame Relay operation. Compatible Systems uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) to dynamically generate this information.
Note: Due to the complexity of BGP, configuration parameters for BGP are not given in this Quickstart. For help with BGP configuration parameters, and other configuration questions, refer to the Tech Support pages on the Compatible Systems Web site at: http://www.compatible.com/.
DECnet Protocol Required for DECnet In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port. WAN interfaces which are set for Frame Relay operation do not need any additional parame- ters set in order to function. •...
In addition to indicating certain router-wide operating conditions and they may also display port-specific information. v Note : Any continuous flashing pattern not noted in this chapter may be caused by a hard- ware failure. Please call Compatible Systems Technical Support if your router shows a hard- ware failure.
