3-10 Configuration Overview
Hardwired A hardwired port is a serial port that is connected
directly to another device via a serial cable (this is
only possible on S0). Note that both Host Device
and User Login must be disabled on Hardwired
ports.
Routes Table
The routes table contains both static and dynamic routing
information. Dynamic routes are updated by RIP broadcasts
received from other routing devices on the network. Static
routes are routes added to the table by hand. A static route to a
given location will override a dynamic route that RIP generates.
Static routes to a given location are required when the location is
not running RIP or when the NETServer is not listening for RIP
broadcasts on the given interface. Without RIP protocol messag-
ing, the NETServer cannot gather information on the location of
other routers, gateways, and remote hosts and must know
exactly where to send a packet.
See An Introduction to NETServer Routing in Chapter 6 for an
overview of the routing process.
SNMP Configuration
The NETServer provides support for the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) and industry standard MIB-II
variables. These variables are fully described in your MIB-II
documentation.
The SNMP Configuration commands let you configure what
SNMP servers (if any) are permitted to make SET and GET
requests, as well as what Read and Write Communities.
