Page 113: Passport 4400 Ip Addressing
Overview You can use Install Tool to configure and monitor local and remote Passport 4400s in your network. To a large extent, the Passport 4400 routing mode (bridging and routing) determines which nodes in the network will be accessible through your local connection.
Page 114: Bridging And Routing Modes
You configure a Passport 4400 for either bridging or routing mode. The following paragraphs describe the IP address assignments for each of these. Basic Configuration Tasks To enable a Passport 4400 for routing or bridging, you must perform the following configuration tasks, in this order: •...
Page 115: Ip Address Requirements
192.168.111.11 and 192.168.222.11 are each in a distinct LAN segment. This is the IP address that the Passport 4400 assigns to the PC when you establish a dial-up connection through the management port. This IP address must be in the same segment as the Bridge IP address.
Page 116 Install Tool automatically calculates an IP address mask and a broadcast address for the PPP segment. Note: The Passport 4400 assigns an IP address to the PC at the time a connection is established. This address is equal to the PPP IP address plus one.

Passport 4400 IP address and the PC IP address) are on the same segment, as illustrated in this example. Note that if this node is multihomed, each Passport 4400 IP address must be on a separate segment. Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.2...
Page 118: Routing Example
Routing Example When configuring a Passport 4400 for routing, each of the three required IP addresses (PPP IP address, LAN IP address, and WAN IP address) is on a different segment, as illustrated in this example. In addition, if this node is multihomed, each LAN IP address must be on a separate segment.
