CONFIGURATION EDITOR
Internal Addresses
-
In an 802.5 source route bridging environment, the frame relay WAN looks like a Token Ring network to the frame relay access device and other RFC 1490-compliant devices.
-
-
To make the frame relay network appear as if it were a giant ring, the unit serves as a frame relay-to-Token Ring bridge. This makes it necessary for the unit to have a logical internal ring.
-
Primary Internal Values
-
These parameters must be configured for all frame relay access devices.
-
Internal / Global IP Management Address
-
When RIP-2 is introduced, each branch can be assigned a unique host internal IP address. This address is broadcast as a host address instead of allocation another subnet as required in RIP-1.
-
Auxiliary Internal Rings (FRADs only)
-
Tandem out-dial configurations require a unique MAC address for each SDLC ATM device. To support this requirement, up to nine MAC addresses may be identified.
-
-
These values can also define internal routes that can be used by specific PUs. These values are required if you intend to implement session resiliency, or if you have a Tandem host supporting multiple PUs with a common destination. Since Tandem cannot support multiple sessions to the same destination address, each PU configured on the unit must use a unique internal MAC address for the same destination.
-
-
These values are generally configured on the destination device.
-
-
Downstream PUs can either be SDLC- or LAN-attached.
