    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Advanced Features Button Clicking Advanced displays this dialog box. Select the appropriate check box for your network. The check boxes are described below: Pass Bad Ethernet Source • The standard Ethernet bridges we have tested will pass Ethernet packets with a broadcast or multicast address as their source (i.e., packets with their first bit set to 1).
  • Page 48 Enabling this feature will cause the bridge to also watch the IP/ARP packets that occur on the network. The SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 brouters take no action in response to IP/ARP packets (since that is the role of an IP router) except to add the IP address to its IP/ARP table.

  • Page 49: Storm Thresholds Button

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Storm Thresholds Button Click Storm Thresholds to keep broadcast and multicast storms from spreading throughout the network. Network storms are common and can cause bridges, routers (brouters), workstations, servers, and PCs to slow down or crash. Storms occur if network equipment is configured incorrectly, if network software is not functioning properly, or if poorly designed programs such as network games are used.

  • Page 50: Tunnel Partners Button

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Interface Threshold • This setting determines the maximum number of broadcast or multicast packets that can occur during a one-second period before a storm is declared for the assigned interface. Once it is determined that a storm is occurring, any additional broadcast or multicast pack- ets received on that interface will be denied until the storm is determined to be over.

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Internet Address Classes The first octet defines the "class" of the address, which is the only method to tell the size of the network (how big) and where the internet address belongs. There are three main classes: Class A: 35.0.0.0...
  • Page 56 SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Class C addresses use 24 bits (3 octets) for the network portion and 8 bits (two octets) for • the node (or host) section of the address. This provides 16.7 million networks with 256 nodes for each network.

  • Page 57: Subnetting A Network

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Subnetting a Network The increasing number of hosts and networks make impractical address blocks that are not smaller than 245. In order keep the IP address small, so routers can manage them without changing the whole protocol, a smaller network definition is created.
  • Page 58 SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Example of Subnetting: For example, a Class C network (255.255.255.0) contains three masked octets (255.255.255). The last octet (0) is leftover for remaining nodes (i.e., computers). If Router D is reading IP Addresses 195.172.3.1 (let's call this IP Address 1) and 195.172.3.64 (let's call this IP Address 2) on this Class C network, it would send IP Address 1 to Subnet A and IP Address 2 to Subnet B.

  • Page 60: How Does A Network Administrator Assign An Ip Address?

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Note: If the network is managed by a Simple Network Management Protocol for local or Internet access, each brouter must contain a unique IP Address. This is a benefit of static or dynamic addressing.

  • Page 61: Figure Of Dhcp Addressing

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Servers that utilize DHCP resolve security issues, costly IP addressing services, and compatibility problems. DHCP is an alternative to BOOTP , which reduces the agony of assigning static IP addresses and also provides advanced configuration options.

  • Page 62: What Is Nat?

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide What is NAT? Network Address Translation (NAT) is the conversion of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used within one network to a different IP address within another network. One network is designated the inside network and the other is the outside network.

  • Page 63: Enabling The Dhcp Client And Choosing The Appropriate Interface

    SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Enabling the DHCP Client and Choosing the Appropriate Interface Note: Before you begin, confirm that you have properly read the configuration from the SPEEDLAN brouter you want to configure. Then, perform the following tasks: Open the SPEEDLAN Configurator.

  • Page 65 SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide Note: For more information, see Subnetting a Network, page 7-5. Once the packet has trav- eled to the appropriate network, it goes through a masking process. A subnet mask is composed of zeros (0s) and ones (1s). This tells the router which addresses to look under and which ones not to look under.
