Configuring Interfaces on the PRP
Using the Setup Command Facility to Configure an Ethernet Interface
In the following example of an Ethernet configuration using the setup command
facility, the Ethernet interface is configured using IP and Connectionless Network
Service (CLNS). In this example, you should use IP, CLNS, and the default RJ-45
Ethernet connection.
Enter the setup facility using the setup command and respond to prompts as
appropriate for your needs, using your own address and mask for the setup
prompts.
(Additional displayed text omitted from this example.)
Configuring interface Ethernet0:
Is this interface in use?: yes
Configure IP on this interface?: yes
IP address for this interface: 3.3.1.1
Number of bits in subnet field: 8
Class A network is 3.0.0.0, 8 subnet bits; mask is 255.255.0.0
Configure CLNS on this interface?: yes
Configuring the Console Interface
The system console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a
data terminal, which you must configure. The console port is labeled Console, as
shown in Figure 14. Before connecting the console port, check the documentation
for your terminal to determine the baud rate of the terminal you plan to use.
The baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600 baud). Set
up the terminal as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits (9600,
8N2). The console port requires a rollover RJ-45 cable.
Note To comply with Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic
compatibility and safety, connect all console, auxiliary, Ethernet, and
BITS (PRP2) interfaces only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring or cabling.
The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both
ends.
