CONFIG Commands

Specifies the broadcast address for the local Ethernet interface. IP hosts use the
broadcast address to send messages to every host on your network simulta-
neously.

The broadcast address for most networks is the network number followed by 255.
For example, the broadcast address for the 192.168.1.0 network would be
192.168.1.255.

Specifies the subnet mask for the local Ethernet interface. The subnet mask speci-
fies which bits of the 32-bit binary IP address represent network information. The
default subnet mask for most networks is 255.255.255.0 (Class C subnet mask).

.

Specifies whether an administrator can open a telnet connection to the Cayman
Gateway over the Ethernet interface to monitor and configure the unit.

Specifies whether an administrator can open a telnet connection to the Cayman
Gateway over the Ethernet interface to monitor and configure the unit. On the
2E-H’s LAN port you can enable or disable administrator access. On the WAN
port, you can enable or disable administrator access or specify that the WAN port
can only be used for administrative traffic. By default, administrative restrictions
are turned off on both Ethernet ports, meaning an administrator can open a tel-
net connection through either port.

DSL

set ip ethernet A restrictions { none | admin-disabled }

ENET

set ip ethernet [ A | B ] restrictions
{ none | admin-disabled }
set ip ethernet [ A | B ] restrictions
{ none | admin-disabled | admin-only }

If you specify admin-only access for the Cayman 2E-H WAN port, you
will turn off routing services through that port. RIP and ICMP traffic is still
accepted.
Do NOT turn on admin-only access without consulting with your net-
work administrator.
