WAN Logical settings
The DELHW-UA Wide Area Networking (WAN) modular interface available for
the DLE32-MA, DLE33-MA, and other MultiSwitch 700 modules provides LAN-
to-WAN switching for the MultiSwitch 700 chassis. It supports IP and IPX
bridging or routing services — including IP RIP — and multiple WAN
connectivity options via two port interface module slots.
About the DELHW-UA
Unlike other modular interfaces designed for the MultiSwitch 700 boards, the
DELHW-UA module functions as an independent intelligent device with its own
IP address. As such, it must be managed separately from the MultiSwitch 700
chassis and the board on which it is installed. This chapter provides information
on configuring and managing the WAN capabilities of the various port modules
available for the DELHW-UA.
The WAN functionality described in this chapter is accessed from the DELHW-
UA’s Device View. See
The DELHW-UA Device View , on page 2-75 of Chapter 2,
The MultiSwitch 700 Device View , for instructions on launching the DELHW-
UA Device View. Other DELHW-UA Device View functions, such as finding a
source address and changing the device time and date, are also described there.
NOTE
A Windows 95- and NT-based utility called QuickSET for the DELHW-UA was shipped
with your DELHW-UA. This program is designed for point-and-click installation and
set-up of DELHW-UA devices. Currently, QuickSET should be used to configure all port
interface module settings and routing/bridging protocols, including those port interface
modules not currently supported by NetSight Element Manager. See your QuickSET
documentation for more information. Future releases of NetSight Element Manager will
support the DELHW-UA more comprehensively.
