  • Page 22: Ip Addressing

    Applications IP Addressing Devices on an IP network are located by their IP addresses, which is a 32 bit number divided into four 8 bit fields. The IP address identifies both the network and the host device (also known as a node) on that network. The address is usually written as the four decimal values for the fields (between 0 and 255) separated by decimal points;...
  • Page 23: Masks

    Applications Masks The portion of the IP address to use as the network address is specified by using a mask; a mask is the contiguous number of bits to be used for the network address all set to 1. When the mask is logically ANDed with an IP address, the result is the network address.
  • Page 24 The P1705 & P1730 allows mask sizes from 8 to 32 bits. The subnet mask size determines how many bits of the host field of the original IP network address will be used for the creation of subnets. In this example, specifying a mask size of 26 will produce a subnet size of 2 bits.
  • Page 25: Ip Default Gateway

    IP Default Gateway An IP default gateway is an IP router that is resident on the local IP network that this router is connected to and is used to route IP frames for destination networks that do not exist in the routing table. When an IP frame is received that is destined for a network that is not listed in the routing table of the router, the router will send the IP frame to the default gateway.
  • Page 26: Ipx Routing

    IPX Routing The P1705 & P1730 are pre-configured to operate as an IPX router. When installed in an IPX network, the router will learn the IPX network numbers from connected networks. It will then route the IPX frames to the appropriate destination IPX network. The IPX routing scenario may consist of one of the two following configurations.
  • Page 27: Novell Servers In One Location Only

    to the IPX frames they receive from the network. Manual entries may be made in the routing tables by adding static IPX routes. Novell Servers in One Location Only Some Novell LAN installations require that a remote LAN that consists of only Novell IPX clients be connected to a central LAN that contains the Novell servers and some more clients.
  • Page 28 The following steps must be performed on the router connected to LAN #2. IPX Routing Disabled Location: Main Disabling IPX routing allows the IPX frame types to be modified. Configuration: IPX Routing does not need to be disabled in order to change the defined Note network numbers on a PPP router.
  • Page 29: Novell Server With Dual Lans

    IPX Forwarding Enabled Location: Main Configuration IPX forwarding must be re-enabled to allow the router to forward IPX frames onto the WAN to the partner router IPX routers. The IPX Forwarding function enables or disables the forwarding of IPX traffic when IPX routing is enabled.
  • Page 30: Ppp Overview

    Applications PPP Overview Point to Point Protocol (PPP) is a connection protocol that allows control over the set-up and monitoring of network communications. It is used in procedures for user authentication (name and password), connection management (spoofing, bandwidth on demand, multilink), and compression.
  • Page 31: Unnumbered Links

    Unnumbered Links An unnumbered link does not use network addressing on the WAN link. The WAN connection is roughly equivalent to an internal connection with each of the two end point routers operating as half of a complete router that is connected between the two endpoint LANs.
  • Page 32: Multilink Operation

    Applications Multilink Operation Multilink operation defines the use of more than one link to connect between two PPP routers. The MultiLink Operation option of the remote site profile for a connection is enabled by default. When a Multilink connection is established, the Multilink (MP) options within the PPP set- up and Advanced PPP set-up menus will determine the operation of the Multilink connection.
  • Page 33: Basic Wan Configurations

    Basic WAN Configurations Basic ISDN Connections If this P1705 & P1730 are configured as an ISDN bridge/router, it may establish WAN connections to other bridge/routers via ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) connections. Before the P1705 & P1730 can establish an ISDN connection to another ISDN router, the ISDN information must be defined.
  • Page 34 The following steps must be performed to configure the P1705 & P1730: The default switch type for ISDN S/T interface modules is NET3, the default switch type for ISDN U interface modules is NI-1. If the type of service your provider uses matches the default setting for the interface module, the following step may be skipped, otherwise, the switch type must be set.
  • Page 35 Once the ISDN switch type and directory numbers have been configured, the router must be reset for the new values to take effect and for the ISDN BRI interface to register with the central switch. Soft Reset Location: Main Once the router has restarted it is ready to establish ISDN connections. With the ISDN numbers and switch type defined, an ISDN call may be placed to another properly configured bridge/router.
  • Page 36: Ppp Isdn Manual Call Quick Connections

    Applications PPP ISDN Manual Call Quick Connections The PPP P1705 & P1730 should be configured with a remote site profile entry for each router that will be called (see section 2.3.1).

  • Page 47: Configure Remote Site Profile For Frame Relay

    Configure Remote Site Profile for Frame Relay Each of the PVC’s on the frame relay service must be configured within an individual remote site profile on the router. This is usually done automatically through the auto- learning process. When the frame relay router first starts up it will query the frame relay service to try to determine the PVC configurations.
  • Page 48 The DLCI number defined here is the Data Link Connection Identifier value provided by your frame relay service provider. This value must be set if auto-learning is disabled. Each Remote Site PVC must be defined to exist on one of the two physical WAN links available on this router.
  • Page 49 Location: Main The EIR value specifies the indicated data rate that may be available for this PVC. This value must be set to the same as the value provided by the Frame Relay network provider. When EIR = 0, no excess burst data is allowed to be transmitted.

    Servicing Information Appendix D Interface Pinouts Pinout Information Each link interface available is described with detailed information on pin designation. Standard interface cables will provide correct connections to modems, datasets, or DSU/CSUs. When connecting two bridge/routers back-to-back without modems, a null-modem cable is required to crossover the pins on the links.
