Introduction to the 8 Port 10/100 RIOP Introduction to the 8 Port 10/100 RIOP The 8 Port 10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit switching router, allows you to connect up to eight local Ethernets at a data speed of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
1 stop bit and no Flow Control. v Note: The 8 port 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 1 - Network Installation Powering Up the Router Connect the supplied power cord to the front of the VSR and set the power switch to “On.” At power-up, the router will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView. v Note: If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must first configure an IP address into the router with either an out-of-band console, CompatiView, or with a recon- figured IP host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the router.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions This Quickstart chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the 8 Port 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 Instructions IPX Protocol Required for IPX There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will adapt to conditions on the Ethernet. Suggested for IPX You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions Saving a Configuration File to Flash ROM Once a configuration is complete, you can save it to the router’s Flash ROM. Until saved, all changes are made in a separate buffer and the actual router interfaces continue to run as before the changes were made.
Set switch to zero and cycle power. 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.
