Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions

9

Suggested for IP

These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to.
With this information, routing can take place.

Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or BGP (Border Gateway
Protocol)

IP static routes

CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: WAN Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog
Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF and BGP can only be config-
ured using text-based configuration.

TB: Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword in
the IP WAN 0 (and/or any other port you wish to configure) section. Add static routes and a
default router using the edit config IP Static command.

v Note: Due to the complexity of BGP, configuration parameters for BGP are not given in this
Quickstart. For help with BGP configuration parameters, and other configuration questions,
refer to the Tech Support pages on the Compatible Systems Web site at:

http://www.compatible.com/.

IPX Protocol

Required for IPX

Frame Relay operation requires that the WAN interface be set as a “numbered interface.” This
means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) must have an IPX network
number.

IPX numbered interface

IPX network number

CV: Use the IPX Routing: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set the Numbered and Net keywords in the IPX WAN 0 (and/or any
other port you wish to configure) section.

Suggested for IPX

The settings above are all that is generally required for IPX operation over Frame Relay.

AppleTalk Protocol

Required for AppleTalk

Frame Relay operation requires that the WAN interface be set as a “numbered interface.” This
means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) must have an AppleTalk network
number and the interface must have an AppleTalk node number.

AppleTalk numbered interface

AppleTalk network number

AppleTalk node number

AppleTalk zone name

CV: Use the AppleTalk Routing: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set the Numbered, NetLower, and DefZone keywords in the Apple-
Talk WAN 0
(and/or any other port you wish to configure) section.

Suggested for AppleTalk

You may want to use more meaningful zone names.

CV: Use the AppleTalk Routing: WAN Dialog Box.
