Introduction to the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP 1 Introduction to the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP The Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit switching router, allows you to connect up to four local Ethernets and up to eight remote corporate networks. Each of the V.35 interfaces has a data capacity of up to 2.048 Mbps, while each Ethernet interface can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. This section of the manual contains informatio

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 3 The Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP is shipped with two “Quad” cables. These cables have a single Very High Density D-Sub connector which plugs into one of the Quad V.35 interface ports on the front of the device and then divides into four separate High Density D-Sub (HD D-Sub) female interface cables. Note: Port numbers 0 - 3 are stamped on both sets of Quad cables. For ports 4 -7, the connector marked “Port 0” is Port 4, the connector marked “Port 1” is

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 4 Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions This Quickstart chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the Octal V.35-Quad 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 chapter as a

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 5 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: Us

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 6 DECnet Protocol Required for DECnet The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port. Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port) Set DECnet area Set DECnet node CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet: Ethernet Dialog Box. TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet Ethernet 0 (and/or any

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 7 IP Protocol Required for IP WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address. They are set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this mode of operation, there are no required settings. 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, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or BGP (Border Ga

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 8 In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter. Suggested for DECnet Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations. Frame Relay Configuration This section covers the settings required for Frame Relay operation of the V.35 WAN inter- faces. In general, the parameters listed here should be set for each WAN interface on which you plan to use Frame Relay. Note that some WAN interfaces can be running Frame

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 9 IP Protocol There are two ways to set up Frame Relay. One is to set the WAN interface as a “numbered interface.” This means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) will have an IP address, subnet mask, etc. The other is to set it as an unnumbered interface and specify that the link is point-to-point Frame Relay and set the local DLCI. Unnumbered Frame Relay can only be configured using text-based configuration. Instructions are provided

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 10 IPX Protocol Required for IPX Frame Relay operation requires that the WAN interface be set as a “numbered interface.” This means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) must have an IPX network number. IPX numbered interface IPX network number CV: Use the IPX Routing: WAN Dialog Box. TB: Use configure and set the Numbered and Net keywords in the IPX WAN 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Suggested for IP

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 11 SMDS Configuration This section covers the settings required for SMDS (Switched Multi-megabit Data Service) operation of the V.35 WAN interfaces (IP only). SMDS is a connectionless, packet-switched service that offers LAN-to-LAN connectivity across a wide area at up to 1.544 Mbps. SMDS addresses and other parameters can only be set using the command line interface. Note: The IP protocol settings and the physical communication settings are the same a

Chapter 4 - LED Patterns 13 Chapter 4 - LED Patterns Some of the LEDs on the front of the VSR multigigabit switching router serve dual functions. In addition to indicating certain router-wide operating conditions, they may also display port-specific information. Note: Any continuous flashing pattern not noted in this chapter may be caused by a hard- ware failure. Please call Compatible Systems Technical Support if your router shows a hard- ware failure.
