Introduction

This chapter describes the following types of commands for the BSR 1000™:
Interface commands not associated with a specific protocol can be used to configure
interface features with any device on the network.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) commands handle
network communications between network nodes. This includes network addressing
information, control information that enables packets to be routed, and reliable
transmission of data.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) commands dynamically maps IP addresses to
physical hardware addresses. An ARP cache is used to maintain a correlation between
each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.
Domain Name System (DNS) commands are used to map hostnames to IP addresses,
and to control Internet routing information. Lists of domain names and IP addresses
are distributed throughout the Internet with DNS servers.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) commands are used to synchronize
computer clocks in the global internet. SNTP operates in unicast, broadcast, and IP
multicast modes.
Tunneling commands
transport protocol. The following encapsulation modes for the tunnel
interface are supported by the BSR:
•
Generic Router Encapsulation (GRE)
•
IP in IP Encapsulation
•
Distance Vector Management Routing Protocol (DVMRP)
provide a way to encapsulate packets inside of a
