CLI Commands

set

set (router) proxy

Use the set (router) proxy command to enable/disable proxy ARP mode on the Router. This
command will add an IP interface between the Controller and the Router over the backplane. In
this way the Controller can be accessed by IP hosts over the Router’s LAN/WAN interfaces
without using the Controller’s physical Ethernet interface.

Syntax:

set {rtr_card-addr} proxy {disable|enable} [ip-addr]

[mask|bits]

Example:

set ethernet ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

set 3:1 ip address 192.168.100.1/24

set 3 proxy enable 192.168.100.80/24

set ip gateway 192.168.100.80

Set a Router card port to proxy ARP for the Compact T1, where the Router card
is located in slot 3.

{rtr_card-addr}

The slot number (1-6) that contains the Router (IP or CMG) card.

{disable|enable}

When proxy ARP is enabled the Router will allow both the Router and Controller to be
accessed from the Router LAN and WAN interfaces.

If an IP address is provided that is in the same subnet as one of the Router IP subnets and
is not in the same subnet as the Controller Ethernet IP address then the Controller will be
able to initiate IP connections through the Router, initiate IP connections through the
Router, and be able to use the Router as its default gateway. It is highly recommended for
optimum connectability, that the Controller’s proxy IP address be a unique host address in
one of the Router subnets.

NOTE: If no IP address is provided in the set (router) proxy enable command or
the IP address is in the same subnet as the Controller Ethernet IP address, then
the Controller will not be able to initiate connections through the Router, such as
TFTP and PING. It will only be able to reply to connections initiated from the
outside.

{ip-addr}

Set the IP address for the proxy interface on the Compact T1, using the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx is a number from 0 to 255.

[mask|bits]

mask

Set the subnet mask, using the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx is a number
from 0 to 255. This is an optional setting.

bits

Use this field to identify the number of bits, from left to right that will be used
to match the IP Address field within the data packet. Range is between 1-32.
