CSX400 Configuration with QuickSET
100 CSX400 and CSX400-DC User’s Guide
This section describes the fields in the first Bridging and Routing configuration window.
Inverse Mux (Multiplex) Configuration — This function lets you balance your LAN traffic
between two T1 WAN ports, and is used with Point to Point Protocol (PPP) or HDLC protocol.
QuickSET automatically sets the WAN Frame Type to Encapsulated Ethernet when you use the
Inverse Mux configuration. When you select the Inverse Mux check box, bridging, IP routing, and
IPX routing functions are all disabled. The WAN device at the other end of the WAN link(s) must
be a Cabletron Systems device, capable of receiving the balanced WAN traffic.
MAC Bridging — This field allows you to specify whether the CSX400 bridges traffic. Click on
the check box to turn MAC Bridging on.
Spanning Tree Protocol — This field is grayed out until MAC Bridging is turned on. It allows
you to configure the CSX400 to use the Spanning Tree Protocol, which lets the remote device
check for bridging loops, and other sites that use the Spanning Tree Protocol. Click on the check
box to turn on Spanning Tree Protocol.
IP Routing — The IP Routing check box allows you to turn on/off IP Routing. Click on the check
box to turn on IP Routing.
IPX Routing — The IPX Routing check box allows you to turn on/off IPX Routing. Click on the
check box to turn IPX Routing on.
External Ethernet 1 Network # — This field displays the IPX network number assigned to the
external Ethernet network on Ethernet port 1. It is grayed out until IPX Routing is turned on.
External Ethernet 2 Network # — This field displays the IPX network number assigned to the
external Ethernet network on Ethernet port 2. It is grayed out until IPX Routing is turned on.
Frame Type — This field is grayed out until IPX Routing is turned on. It allows you to select the
type of IPX frame in which packets are encapsulated for transmission. Select one of the four
available frame types.
NOTE
The Inverse Mux function is enabled or disabled through QuickSET, not Local
Management. Statistics regarding the Inverse Mux configuration are accessed via the
imux MIB Navigator command. See
Chapter 9 , MIB Navigator , for more information.
