6.1 Introduction
This chapter provides examples of how to configure your RouteFinder 100 for use in several operating
environments. The configuration examples start out with a RouteFinder 100 connected to a LAN in Mounds View
using IP protocol, an external terminal adapter with Basic Rate ISDN service, and either a dial up line or
leased line to LAN 2 in Minneapolis with the same protocol and WAN device using the same ISDN service.
Section 6-3 provides examples of a RouteFinder
100 connected to a LAN with a frame relay network providing
multiple virtual connections to remote sites.
Section 6.2 provides examples of how the RouteFinder 100 s are configured for IP or IPX routing or bridging.
The external communications device in our examples is a terminal adapter, but it could be a modem or DSU
depending on the communications needs of the site. The communications device can also be connected to a
dial-up or leased line.
Section 6.3 provides examples of how the RouteFinder 100 s are configured using frame relay as the
communications medium between the local and remote sites. Usually the main site or in the configuration
examples the Mounds View site is considered the main site which will be configured with two virtual circuits.
One of the virtual circuits will connect the Mounds View site to the River Falls site. The second virtual circuit
connects the Mounds View site to a Minneapolis site. An important consideration when configuring a frame
relay nework is that the virtual WANs are on the same network and that no LANs have the same address.
6.2 Two RouteFinder 100 s with External TA
This example provides procedures for configuring two RouteFinder 100 s using IP protocol, external Terminal
Adapters (TAs) with Basic Rate ISDN service, and either a dial or leased line network (see Figure 6-1).
One RouteFinder 100 is connected to the Mounds View LAN with a 10Base-T Ethernet connection, and an
external Terminal Adapter provides the connection from the RouteFinder 100 to the ISDN service. The ISDN
service is provided by the local telephone service which connects the Mounds View LAN to the Minneapolis
LAN.
In this example, a PC is connected to the command port of each RouteFinder 100 . First the configuration for the
Mounds View Operation is set and then the configuration for the Minneapolis Operation is set.
