+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  1. Take one of the following actions:

When interface configuration begins, you can type 'r' any time at this level to restart Interface Configuration

The only WAN interfaces that you can configure using Quick Config are PPP, Frame Relay, and V34. The only parameters you can configure for PPP and Frame Relay are the cable type and the line speed if the IBM 2210 is providing the clocking. For V34 interfaces the cable type is set to RS-232 DTE with a clock speed of 115200.
Note:Some modems do not support 115200 as the DTE serial speed. If this is the case, you must go into the network configuration for that V34 net and lower the DTE speed.

What quick configuration displays next depends on whether you have an Ethernet or Token-Ring version of the IBM 2210.

Ethernet

For Ethernet versions of the IBM 2210, configuration prompts similar to the following ones appear:

  1. The interface verification:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Intf 0 is Ethernet                                                              |
    |                                                                                |
    |Intf 1 is WAN PPP                                                               |
    |Encapsulation for WAN 1 (PPP, Frame Relay, V34):  [PPP] PPP                     |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  2. Enter one of the following values to specify the encapsulation type:

    ppp
    Point-to-Point Protocol
    fr
    Frame Relay
    V34
    V.34 Modem Handler

    The following message is displayed for PPP and Frame Relay:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Cable type (RS-232 DTE, RS-232 DCE, V.35 DTE, V.35 DCE, V.36 DTE, X.21 DTE,     |

    |Enter Idle timer (seconds, 0 means always active) (0 - 65535): [0] 0            |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  3. Next you are prompted to add/edit the ISDN dial-circuits that can be used by the MP interface. The example below demonstrates adding one dial-circuit but you may add more than one dial-circuit per MP interface. Choose to add a dial-circuit by selecting the last number in the list denoted by "New Circuit" or to edit an existing dial-circuit configuration by typing its corresponding number. (Note: The example below does not display any existing dial-circuit configuration.)

    Answering no will take the user out of the DIALs server configuration.

  2. For every valid base WAN interface (V34 or ISDN) in the router, you are asked if you want to add a DIALs dial-in interface for this base net.

  3. After answering yes or no to these questions, the current dial-circuit configuration for that base net is displayed. You can then save the configuration by answering yes or restart the configuration for that base net by answering no.

  4. After configuring all of your DIALs interfaces or by answering no to the DIALs interfaces question, you arrive at the DIALs Server configuration. Here you are asked to enter information about global settings for the DIALs server.

    |Configure DIALs Server? (Yes, No, Quit): [Yes] yes                              |
    |Type 'r' any time at this level to restart Dial-in Access to LANs Configuration.|
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  5. Take one of the following actions:

    If you answer yes, the following prompt will be shown. Answering no takes you to the next configuration section.

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Default number of minutes a user is allowed before being                       |
    | disconnected, 0 is unlimited: (0)                                              |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  6. The default number of minutes on-line determines the maximum connection time for dial-in and dial-out users. Enter 0 if you want to this time to be unlimited. The default is zero if you have not configured this information previously.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |DIALs Server name - up to 30 chars: (DIALOUT_SERVER)                            |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  7. Enter the name of the DIALs server. The default is DIALOUT_SERVER. This is the name of the server that will be displayed when dial-out clients "discover" DIALs Dial-out Servers on the network when they invoke the DIALs client's CHOOSER application.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Dial-out client type(s) supported (DIALs, TELNET, BOTH): [BOTH]                 |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  8. The previous question determines what level of dial-out support is turned on for the router. DIALs refers to supporting the IBM DIALs dial-out clients. Telnet dial-out refers to the ability to dial-out from a LAN based client using either a telnet application or a telnet serial port application. The default setting is to have both enabled.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Inactive time before a connection is dropped, 0 is unlimited: (30)              |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  9. The previous question pertains to how long a dial-out circuit is active while no data is being transmitted or received. It should be set to the number of minutes that a connection over a dial-out circuit can be active without traffic. The default is 30 minutes.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Dial-in IP address assignment:                                                  |
    |Allow clients to specify their own IP address? (Yes, No, Quit) [No] y           |
    |                                                                                |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  10. The previous question allows dial-in clients to provide their own IP address to be used for the duration of the connection.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Assign address using the PPP User Profile? (Yes, No, Quit) [No] y               |
    |                                                                                |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  11. The previous question enables the device to provide the IP address in the PPP User Profile to the client to use for the duration of the connection.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Assign address based on the dial-in interface? (Yes, No, Quit) [No] y           |
    |                                                                                |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  12. The previous question enables the device to provide the IP address in the Dial-in interface for the client to use for the duration of the connection.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Assign address using IP address pools? (Yes, No, Quit) [Yes] y                  |
    |                                                                                |
    |Add addresses to an IP Address pool using the ADD IP-POOL command               |
    |under FEATURE DIALs in the configuration console (talk 6).                      |
    |                                                                                |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  13. The previous question enables the device to provide an IP address from the IP address pool for the client to use for the duration of the connection. IP address pools enable the device to provide an IP address from the IP address pools to the client to use for the duration of the connection.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Assign address using proxy DHCP? (Yes, No, Quit) [No] y                         |
    |How many DHCP Servers do you wish to use? (Maximum is 20) : (1) 2               |
    |Enter DHCP Server Address: [] 10.0.0.1                                          |
    |Enter DHCP Server Address: [] 10.0.0.2                                          |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  14. The previous question enables the device to provide an IP address from a DHCP server to the client for use for the duration of the connection.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | DHCP gateway (giaddr) interface: [] 10.0.0.15                                  |
    |                                                                                |
    |                                                                                |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  15. The DHCP Gateway interface, or giaddr (as defined in RFC1531), is an IP address associated with the subnet you wish the DHCP server to offer addresses within. This is necessary because the DHCP server may be used to lease addresses to more than one subnet. The giaddr allows the DHCP server to distinguish from which subnet to offer addresses as well as provide an address in which to respond to.

    Quick Config will now ask you for an IP address to use as the giaddr. If you leave this address as 0.0.0.0, the IP address of the interface used to reach the DHCP server will be used. If you have only one LAN connected to the device and your dial-in users will be given addresses on the same subnet as this LAN, you can use 0.0.0.0 as this address.
    Note:You will be permitted to enter an IP address here even if the address does not yet exist on the interface. However, an interface must be configured with this address before DHCP will work properly.

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Do you want to use Dynamic DNS (requires hostnames to be configured for dial-in|
    | (Yes, No): [Yes]y                                                              |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  16. The response to the previous question determines if the router will instruct the DHCP server to update the Dynamic DNS with the hostname and IP address of a dial-in user.

    If you will be using DHCP to administer IP address to your dial-in users, you should answer yes to this question.

|Configure Bridging? (Yes, No, Quit): [Yes]                                      |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  1. In response to Configure Bridging, take one of the following actions:

  2. If you have configured for DIALs dial-in circuits the following panel will be displayed:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Transparent bridging automatically enabled                                      |
    |on DIALs ports? (Yes, No, Quit): [Yes]                                          |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    Enter y to automatically add transparent bridge ports to the bridge configuration for each of the DIALs interfaces.

    Enter n to automatically disable Bridging on each of the DIALs dial-in interfaces.

  3. If you choose to configure bridging, Spanning Tree Bridging (STB) will be enabled on all LAN interfaces. You will see the following panels:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Type 'r' any time at this level to restart Bridging Configuration               |
    |                                                                                |
    |STB will be enabled on all LAN interfaces                                       |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    Enter y to configure SRT bridging. Otherwise, enter n. For each Token-Ring interface in the configuration, you will be prompted to enable Source Routing on the interface.

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Configure SRT Bridging? (Yes, No): [Yes]                                        |
    |You are now configuring the Source Routing part of SRT Bridging                 |
    |Bridge Number (hex) of this Router (1-F): [A]                                   |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  4. Enter a bridge number, which is a hexadecimal value from 1 to F that is unique between two parallel segments.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Interface 0 (Port 1) is of type Token Ring                                      |
    |Configure Source Routing on this interface (Yes, No): [Yes]                     |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  5. Enter y to configure source routing on the interface. The console displays the next two lines.
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Configuring Interface 0 (Port 1)                                                |
    |Segment Number (hex) of this Interface (1-FFF): [A1]                            |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    Note:The port number increases by one because source routing bridging does not allow a port number of zero.

    A unique hexadecimal value from 1 to FFF is assigned to each interface. The interfaces on each ring (segment) have the same segment number, but the segment number is unique to each ring.

    These prompts appear for each Token Ring interface.

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Interface 1 (Port 2) is of type Token Ring                                      |
    |Configure Source Routing on this interface? (Yes, No): [Yes]                    |
    |Configuring Interface 1 (Port 2)                                                |
    |Segment Number (hex) of this Interface (1-FFF): [A2]                            |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    If more than two interfaces are configured for source routing, enter a unique hexadecimal value from 1 to FFF unique for the internal virtual segment.

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Virtual Segment Number (hex) of this Router (1-FFF): [A4]                       |

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  4. The next messages and your responses depend on whether you are configuring Token-Ring or Ethernet.

    Configuring Interface 0 (Token Ring):

    1. The following prompt is displayed:
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      |Token Ring encapsulation (frame) type? (TOKEN--RING MSB, TOKEN--RING LSB,       |
      |    TOKEN--RING_SNAP MSB, TOKEN--RING_SNAP LSB): [TOKEN--RING MSB]              |
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    2. Enter the encapsulation type used by the IPX protocol on your Token-Ring end stations.
      Token--Ring MSB: Most common encapsulation type and the default. The IBM 2210 builds outgoing packets with a 3-byte 802.2 header, (0xE0, 0xE0, 0x03). It sends the source and destination addresses in MSB (most significant bit), or noncanonical, format, which is the native address format for Token-Ring.
       
      Token--Ring LSB Same as Token-Ring MSB except the IBM 2210 sends the addresses in LSB (least significant bit), or canonical, format.
       
      Token-Ring SNAP MSB The IBM 2210 builds outgoing packets with an 8-byte 802.2/SNAP header (0xAA, 0xAA, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x81, 0x37). It sends the source and destination addresses in most significant bit (MSB), or noncanonical, format.
       
      Token-Ring SNAP LSB Same as Token-Ring SNAP MSB except the IBM 2210 sends the addresses in LSB, or canonical, format.

    Configuring IPX for Ethernet:

    1. The following prompts are displayed:
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      |Ethernet encapsulation type? (ETHERNET_8022, ETHERNET_8023, ETHERNET_ii,        |
      |ETHERNET_SNAP): [ETHERNET_8023]                                                 |
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    2. Enter the encapsulation type used by the IPX protocol on your Ethernet end stations.


      Ethernet_8022 Packet includes an 802.2 header.
       
      Ethernet_8023 Uses an IEEE 802.3 packet format without the 802.2 header. This is the default and the default for NetWare versions prior to 4.0. Ethernet 802.3 does not conform to the IEEE 802 standards because it does not include an 802.2 header. It may cause problems with other nodes on the network.
       
      Ethernet_II Uses Ethernet type 8137 as the packet format. This format is required if you are using NetWare VMS on the Ethernet. This is the default for NetWare Versions 4.0 and higher.
       
      Ethernet_SNAP Uses the 802.2 format with a SNAP header. This encapsulation type is meant to be compatible with token-ring SNAP encapsulation. However, it violates IEEE standards and is not interoperable across conformal bridges.

  5. Assign an IPX network number to the associated directly connected network. Every IPX interface must have a unique network number.

    If enabled, the IPXWAN protocol negotiates routing parameters to be used on the PPP serial interface before IPX packet forwarding begins. IPXWAN is not required to forward IPX packets on PPP serial interfaces. The IPXWAN Node ID is a unique IPX network number that identifies the router, and is required if IPXWAN is enabled on any network interfaces.

  6. Host number is a unique 12-digit hexadecimal value assigned to an IPX router. It is required because serial lines do not have hardware node addresses from which to build a host number.

    The above configuration fields are configured with the following considerations:

    Highest Node Number
    Is the highest node address in the router's area. Setting it excessively high will affect the routers efficiency and require excess storage.

    Router Level
    Identifies whether the router is a Level 1 or Level 2 router. A Level 1 router keeps track of all nodes in its area and does not care about nodes outside its area. A Level 2 router routes traffic between areas.

    Normally you should select Level1 or Level2 with the following exception: select DEC Level1 or DEC Level2 only when this router must communicate over X.25 networks with routers conforming to the DEC X.25 standard.

    Highest Area
    This number should be at least as high as the highest area number in the overall network.

    Node Address
    Is the node ID of this router and must be unique in the network.
