    YSTEM VERVIEW The SFVRA-CFG allows a network consisting of Cabletron CyberSWITCH systems and/or SmartSwitch Remote Access Modules to be configured and managed centrally. It is made up of two main components: the SFVRA-CFG database (using either MS SQL Server, a Windows NT application, or MS Access, a Windows NT/Windows 95 application), and the SFVRA-CFG application, which runs on a Windows 95 or Windows NT device.

    These devices use PPP to communicate with the systems. IP router devices are single devices that represent many other IP hosts and routers to the Cabletron systems. They must use the CHAP or PAP protocol to identify themselves to the system. IP routers usually provide IP network address information at connection time (and use PPP to send user data to the Cabletron systems).

    ONFIGURING ABLES VERVIEW Before you begin configuring site and network specific information, you must first configure the product code table, and, if applicable, the SFVRA database table. The product code table allows you to associate a user-defined code with a particular platform. For example, you could enter CSX6000a as a product code, and select CyberSWITCH 6000 as its associated platform.

A separate subnet (192.2.2.0) is required to connect the subnets. If the remote router supports unnumbered interfaces (as shown in Example 2), then the connecting subnet would not be required.

  • Page 101: Static Routes

    You only need to configure static routing entries if you need to access a WAN network that is not directly connected to the system, or if you need to access a LAN network through a router that does not support IP RIP. Static routes specify the IP address of the next hop router or gateway that provides access to this subnet.
