IP Node Defaults Parameters
RIP Version
determines the version of RIP that will be supported in the SmartSwitch 1800. RIPv1
and RIPv2 are incompatible with each other on the same network; however, each is
compatible with RIPv1 Compatibility . If transitioning a network from RIP Version 1 to
Version 2, reconfigure each device to RIPv1 Compatibility , until all devices are con-
figured for RIPv1 Compatibility . Each device can then be configured for RIPv2.
Configuring IP Interfaces
An IP interface allows the Internet Protocol to be executed over a frame relay, X.25,
Ethernet, or Token Ring interface.
To display all IP interfaces configured on the node, press [A] at the Configure IP/
LLC2/BRIDGE/IPX Interfaces Menu (or [A], [C], [E], [A] from the Main Menu).
To configure an interface, press [B] at the Configure IP/LLC2/BRIDGE/IPX Inter-
faces Menu. When prompted, enter an interface number: 0–256 . (This is merely a
sequential number to identify the interface.)
It is a good idea to configure the LAN IP interface as interface 0 . This
ensures that the default IP address used for "un-numbered" interfaces will
always be the same. (See "
Unnumbered Interface " on page 14-11.)
The display depends on the interface; the following figure shows an example, and
Table 14-2 through Table 14-4 list the parameters for all interface types.
