    LANs. IP Router: The Express L128FP can function as an IP router using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for advertising and learn- ing routes among other routers. Static routes may also be entered into the routing table.

  • Page 27: Bridging

    Chapter 1. Understanding IDSL and the Express L128FP Bridging In Bridge Mode, the Express L128FP can be used to connect two LAN segments. In this mode, all protocols are supported because they are transported across the IDSL link at the MAC layer. The Spanning Tree Algorithm can be used to guarantee a loop-free topology.

  • Page 28: Network Address Translation Mode

    Chapter 1. Understanding IDSL and the Express L128FP Network Address Translation Mode NAT is a special mode of operation in which the Express L128FP ob- tains a dynamically assigned IP address from the peer router (typical- ly an Internet Service Provider). This allows a network of computers to appear as a single IP address.

    PPP or Frame Relay connection. Rear Panel The Express L128FP has one RJ-45 jack, labeled ISDN, on the rear pan- el for network connection (Figure 1-6 on page 1-8). The OFF/ON switch block is for factory default and firmware down- loading.

  • Page 30: Configuration

    Switch 2 in the up or OFF position will force the entire config- uration to be factory defaulted. The Express L128FP transfers data up to 144 kbps over a two-wire fa- cility. This type of service is a permanent connection between end- points or between the unit and the Frame Relay cloud.

  • Page 31: Security

    Security Security on network devices is a major concern for almost anyone with a network. The Express L128FP provides many tools for securing the local network from hostile users. Connections can be authenticated using passwords. A RADIUS client can also be used.

TFTP re- quires a TFTP server running somewhere on the network. The Ex- press L128FP starts a TFTP client function which gets the upgrade code from the TFTP server.

    Use this activator to cancel any TFTP transfer in progress. »» Upgrade/TFTP Server Setting this to Yes allows another Express L128FP to upgrade its code using TFTP client. This, in effect, turns on the Express L128FP TFTP server function and allows its code to be “cloned.” Setting to No (def) will deny any request from TFTP clients.
