Configuring the DSL Router

Ethernet Interface
— All DSL routers have an Ethernet interface with a unique MAC address
assigned before shipping.
— The Ethernet interface is a 10/100BaseT interface that automatically
negotiates the rate. If all attached Ethernet devices support 100BaseT,
the DSL router will default to 100BaseT. Otherwise, the DSL router
operates at 10BaseT.
— The DSL router can be configured for either DIX format or IEEE 802.3
format. When the DSL router is configured to use IEEE 802.3 format, the
DSL router uses SNAP encapsulation as specified in RFC 1042.
— The Hotwire 6302 IDSL and the 6342 SDSL Routers each have a hub
configuration with four Ethernet connectors. The hub acts as a bit-level
repeater. There is logically one Ethernet communications interface and
one single collision domain.
— The DSL router only accepts frames on the Ethernet interface with its
own MAC address or a broadcast or multicast MAC address.
Ethernet and DSL Interface Identifiers
The following are the naming conventions used for the Hotwire DSL Router
interfaces:
H eth1 (or e0) – Ethernet interface name.
H
dsl1 (or d0) – DSL interface name.
Service Domain IP Address Assignments
H Multiple Service Domains can be defined using network addresses and
subnet masks.
H
For both the DSL interface and the Ethernet interface, four Service Domain
IP Addresses and subnet masks can be defined.
