CyROS is constantly evolving, and the menus in this manual might be slightly different from the menus in the router. The latest version of all three manuals (and the latest version of CyROS) can be downloaded from Cyclades’ web site. All manuals indicate on the second page the manual version and the corresponding version of CyROS.
Cyclades-PR2000 Chapters 5 to 9- Basic router configuration information for applications that do not fit any of the examples in chapter 4. Chapter 10 - CyROS - shows how to set router specific parameters and create lists of hosts and users.
Cyclades-PR2000 Text Conventions Common text conventions are used. A summary is presented below: Convention Description CONFIG=>INTERFACE=>L A combination of menu items, with the last being either a menu item, a parameter, or a command. In this example, L lists the interface configuration.

Cyclades-PR2000 CHAPTER 4 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMON APPLICATIONS This chapter provides detailed examples that can be used as models for similar applications. Turn to the example that is closest to your application, read the explanations, and fill in the blank spaces with parameters appropriate to your system.
Page 18
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP ONE The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.2. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most column. These parameters will be entered into the router later, after all parameters have been chosen.
Page 19
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP TWO No more parameters are necessary for the Ethernet interface. The other interface to be configured is the SWAN. The SWAN physical media parameters are shown in Figure 4.3. Fill in the values for your application. The SWAN configuration is described in more detail in chapter 6 of the Installation Manual.

Page 21
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP FOUR The Encapsulation parameters for PPP are less straight-forward. Many of them are based on decisions that cannot be shown in a diagram. Fortunately, the choices made here will mostly effect the performance of the link, rather than whether it works or not. Fill in the parameters appropriate for your system, consulting chapter 8 of the Installation Manual for more information if necessary.
Page 22
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP FIVE A static route must be added to tell the router that all traffic not intended for the local LAN should be sent to the Access Provider. Chapter 9 of the Installation Manual explains static routes and other routing methods available in CyROS.
Page 23
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP SEVEN NAT parameters will now be determined for routing outside of the local LAN. Network Address Translation maps the local IP addresses, registered in the local address range menu below, to the one global IP address assigned by the access provider. Local IP addresses not indicated in this menu will be discarded.

Cyclades-PR2000 Instructions for creating a backup of the configuration file. Use the menu option ADMIN =>WRITE CONFIGURATION =>TO FTP SERVER. Fill in the IP address of the computer where the configuration file should be saved, the file name, the directory name, and the user account information.
Cyclades-PR2000 Example 2 A LAN-to-LAN Example Using Frame Relay This section will guide you through a complete router installation for the connection of two LANs via Frame Relay. Figure 4.9 shows the example system used in this section. Spaces have been provided next to the parameters needed for the configuration where you can fill in the parameters for your system.
Page 26
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP ONE The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.10. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most column. These parameters will be entered into the router later, after all parameters have been chosen.
Page 27
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP TWO No more parameters are necessary for the Ethernet interface. The other interface to be configured is the SWAN in slot 1. The SWAN physical media parameters are shown in Figure 4.11. Fill in the values for your application.
Page 28
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP THREE The network protocol parameters, shown in Figure 4.12, are similar to those for the Ethernet interface. Fill in the parameters for your network in the right-most column. Menu CONFIG=>INTERFACE=>SWAN=>NETWORK PROTOCOL=>IP Parameter Example Active or Inactive Active enables IP communication (IPX and Transparent Bridge are not used in this example).

Cyclades-PR2000 Instructions for creating a backup of the configuration file. Use the menu option ADMIN =>WRITE CONFIGURATION =>TO FTP SERVER. Fill in the IP address of the computer where the configuration file should be saved, the file name, the directory name, and the user account information.
Cyclades-PR2000 Example 3 Link Backup This example shows the configuration of a backup link, with a swan connection to a public Frame Relay Network providing the primary link and a SWAN with a PPP connection providing the secondary link. Figure 4.16 shows the networks used in this example.
Page 34
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP ONE The bandwidth used by CyROS for multilink circuit calculations is that given in the traffic control menu, rather than the actual physical bandwidth available. If this bandwidth value is not set, the preset value (zero) will be used and the multilink circuit will not function.

Page 36
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP THREE Up to this point, the configuration can be used either for link back up or for load back up. This example shows link back up, but parameters applicable to load back up will be mentioned when they appear. Complete information on the multilink circuit concept is provided in chapter 4 of the CyROS Reference Guide.
Page 37
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP FOUR Now, a static backup route must be created for the secondary link. It is assumed that a route of some sort (static, RIP, etc.) already exists for the primary link. The static route parameters for the example secondary link are shown in Figure 4.21.
Page 38
Cyclades-PR2000 STEP SIX The multilink circuit can be tested by temporarily deactivating the interface on the primary link. This is done in the ADMIN=> START/STOP INTERFACE menu by selecting the SWAN interface. If there is traffic, the backup link should then take over, and the menu item INFO =>SHOW ROUTING TABLE will show that the backup link is working.
Cyclades-PR2000 APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING What to Do if the Login Screen Does Not Appear When Using a Console. 1 Check the configuration of the terminal. The correct values are given in chapter 2. 2 Check to see if the router booted correctly. Before the login screen appears, boot messages should appear on the screen.
Cyclades-PR2000 What to Do if the Router Does Not Work or Stops Working. 1 Check that the cables are connected correctly and firmly (see chapter 2, What is in the Box, for correct cable connection information). 2 Confirm that the Link LED is lit, indicating proper Ethernet cable termination. If it is not lit, check both ends of the Ethernet cable and the hub connection.
Cyclades-PR2000 Testing the Ethernet Interface After configuring the Ethernet interface, return to the main menu using the <ESC> key as many times as is necessary. Save the configuration to flash memory (the operating system will ask how to save the configuration on the way back to the main menu).
Cyclades-PR2000 Testing the WAN Interfaces The WAN interface can be tested using ping as described in the previous section. If the ping is not successful, check the routing table to see if a route to the destination exists (INFO =>SHOW ROUTING TABLE). The menu items INFO =>SHOW STATISTICS =>SWAN and INFO =>SHOW STATUS =>SWAN may also provide...
