Configuring The Router - ADTRAN Atlas 550 Q&A

8. Press <enter> on DS0 Selection and change it to reflect the number of channels used for
the frame relay connection. In the example network of Figure 1, all 24 channels will be
used so 1-24 is entered in the DS0 Selection menu field.

Configuring the Router

For the example network in Figure 1, we will be using Inverse Address Resolution Protocol
(IARP) in conjunction with Version 2 (V2) of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to
dynamically learn and maintain the routing tables. IARP enables the router to learn the IP subnet
on the far end of the PVC. The alternative to using IARP is using Far End Address which
allows you to specify the IP subnet on the far end of the PVC. RIP V2 enables the router to
advertise the IP subnets that it knows about to the routers at the far end, as well as receive routes
that the far end routers advertise that they know about.
1. From the Main Menu, go to Router/IP/Interfaces. If you have a telnet session up, then
the Ethernet port, EN0 IP, will already be configured with the Address and Subnet
Mask.
2. In the example we will be using IARP and RIP on the frame relay connection to learn
and maintain the Routes table. So for each DLCI listed in the Interfaces table, FR (DLCI
16) and FR (DLCI 17), change IARP to Enabled. See Figure 10.
3. To enable RIP on DLCI 16 and DLCI 17, use the right arrow key to navigate to the RIP
column for each DLCI and press <enter> on the [+] symbol. Change Mode to Tx and Rx,
then change Protocol to V2. See Figure 11.
