Set the Destination IP Address

The destination IP address is the IP address or hostname of the machine on the other
end of the connection. The destination IP address can also be set to 255.255.255.255 for
PPP users. This setting allows the INA module to learn the IP address of the system on
the other end of the connection using PPP IPCP address negotiation.

Do not set a destination IP address for Frame Relay connections. Instead, use a data link
connection identifier (DLCI) list to link IP addresses to DLCIs, or use the Local
Management Interface (LMI) or Annex-D status updates and Inverse ARP to discover
Frame Relay addresses dynamically. See the PortMaster Configuration Guide for more
information.

Use the following commands to set the destination IP address:

Command> set W1 destination Ipaddress [Ipmask]

Command> save all

Set the Netmask

The default netmask is 255.255.255.0. If the remote network has been divided into
subnets, enter the netmask that identifies how the remote network addresses are
divided between the network portion and the host portion. The value of Ipmask is
dependent upon the size of the IP subnet of which the IP address is a member.

Use the following commands to set the netmask:

Command> set W1 netmask Ipmask

Command> save all

Set the Transport Protocol

The transport protocol can be set to either PPP or Frame Relay. If Frame Relay is used,
additional Frame Relay settings must be configured. See the PortMaster Configuration
Guide
for more information.

Use these commands to set the transport protocol:

Command> set W1 protocol ppp|frame

Command> save all

Command> reboot

Apply Filters to the WAN Port (Optional)

Filters can be used to provide elementary firewall protection for your WAN port. For
information on input and output filters, see the PortMaster Configuration Guide.
