Configuring IP Routing
Configuring system-level routing policies
SLIP BOOTP makes it possible for a computer connecting to the unit over a SLIP connection
to use BOOTP. A MAX unit supports BOOTP on only one connection. If you enable both
SLIP BOOTP and BOOTP relay, you receive an error message.
You can specify the IP address of one or two BOOTP servers with the Server parameters.
If you specify two BOOTP servers, the unit that relays the BOOTP request determines when to
use each server. The order of the BOOTP servers in the BOOTP Relay profile does not
necessarily determine which server the unit tries first.
Name resolution service (DNS or WINS)
A MAX unit uses Domain Name System (DNS) or Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
for translating host names into IP addresses. When the unit is configured for DNS or WINS
name resolution, Telnet and Rlogin users can specify hostnames instead of IP addresses.
The following parameters, located in the Ethernet > Mod Config > DNS profile, are used to
configure the MAX unit for DNS or WINS:
Parameter Specifies
Domain Name The local DNS domain name used for DNS lookups. When you give
the MAX unit a hostname to look up, it tries various combinations,
including the appending of the configured domain name to the host-
name.
Sec Domain Name A secondary domain that the unit can search after searching the
domain specified by the Domain Name parameter. The secondary
domain name can specify DNS or WINS name servers
Pri DNS The IP address of the primary DNS domain name server. If you
configure a primary and secondary name server, the secondary server
is accessed only if the primary one is inaccessible.
Sec DNS The IP address of the secondary DNS domain name server. If you
configure a primary and secondary name server, the secondary server
is accessed only if the primary one is inaccessible.
Pri WINS The IP address of the primary WINS server. If you configure a pri-
mary and secondary name server, the secondary server is accessed
only if the primary one is inaccessible.
Sec WINS The IP address of the secondary WINS server. If you configure a pri-
mary and secondary name server, the secondary server is accessed
only if the primary one is inaccessible.
Allow As Client
DNS Whether local DNS servers should be made accessible to PPP connec-
tions if the client DNS servers are unavailable.
List Attempt Whether the MAX can try to access consecutive entries in the DNS
list of hosts without having the WAN connection torn down when a
connection fails.
List Size The maximum number of DNS addresses presented in the DNS host
list for a terminal server session in response to a DNS query.
