Introduction to the HSSI-10/100 RIOP 2 Introduction to the HSSI-10/100 RIOP The HSSI-10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit switching router, allows you to connect a local Ethernet and remote corporate network. The HSSI interface has a data capacity of 44.736 Mbps, while the Ethernet interface can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. This section of the manual contains information specific to the HSSI-10/100 RIOP. It is divided into the following

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 3 Chapter 1 - Network Installation HSSI-10/100 RIOP Front Panel This section of the manual will help you install the HSSI-10/100 RIOP to connect a local Ethernet and remote corporate network. These connections can be made to other Compatible Systems routers or routers from other vendors. In summary, the steps for installation are: 1. After mounting the router or placing on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to any power source. 2. Connect the router to

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 4 To connect the HSSI port on the HSSI-10/100 module to a T3 (or other HSSI-based) CSU/DSU, first make sure that both units are powered off. Then, simply connect a standard HSSI cable between the HSSI port of the HSSI-10/100 module and the appropriate port of the CSU/DSU, following the cable installation instructions supplied by the CSU/DSU manufac- turer as well. Note: Do not use a “null-modem” cable. The CSU/DSU connects to the appropriate WAN interface

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration 5 Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration This chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the HSSI-10/100 RIOP as part of your VSR multigigabit switching router. Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is provided in the Compa- tiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to loo

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration 6 Suggested for IP These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place. Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2 or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) IP static routes CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF can only be configured using text-based configuration. TB: U

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration 7 Suggested for DECnet Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations. WAN Interface Configuration In order to use the WAN interface, you may want to set some physical parameters. Then set up the link and protocol parameters. Physical Communications Settings Required for Dedicated Line Operation No changes from the default values are required for standard operation over a T3 line. The default values are listed in Chapter 3 - Shippi

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration 8 TB: Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword in the IP WAN 0 section. Add static routes and a default router in the IP Static section. Note: Due to the complexity of BGP, configuration parameters for BGP are not given in this Quickstart. For help with BGP configuration parameters, and other configuration questions, refer to the Tech Support pages on the Compatible Systems Web site at: http://www.compatible.com/.

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Configuration 11 DECnet Protocol Required for DECnet In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port. WAN interfaces which are set for Frame Relay operation do not need any additional parame- ters set in order to function. Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port) CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet: WAN Dialog Box.
