Monitoring and Managing Your ELS100-16TX
4-11
For example, enable 7-9 would enable ports 7, 8, and 9.
LCM responds:
noRIP Option
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the protocols that
allows the ELS100-16TX to build an accurate, current routing table.
This table includes the networks it knows about, the next hop, and
the number of hops to get there. RIP enables you to use an NMS to
remotely manage the ELS100-16TX through a router.
The noRIP option allows you to turn off the routing information
that builds the routing table. You would use this option when you
are connecting network devices that do not support RIP.
4.5.3 Changing a Subnet Mask
You can optionally set the subnet mask for a port. A subnet mask is
a 32-bit address mask used in IP to specify a particular subnet. If
the subnet mask is 0.0.0.0, the ELS100-16TX automatically converts
the displayed mask to the standard default, based on the port’s IP
address class. (Class A address masks are 255.0.0.0, Class B address
masks are 255.255.0.0, Class C address masks are 255.255.255.0.)
To display IP addresses, subnet masks, and MAC addresses of all
ports on the ELS100-16TX you are managing, at the LCM prompt:
1. Type ipaddr
Note: Rip listening means that the ELS100-16TX is in listening
mode only. No RIP packets are created.
Port 7: Enabled, Rip listening
Port 8: Enabled, Rip listening
Port 9: Enabled, Rip listening
