MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

 9-9

You can place the MAX unit on a subnet of that network by including a subnet mask in the IP 
address specification. For example:

Open Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options. 

Set the IP Adrs parameter to specify the IP subnet address for the MAX on the Ethernet 
network. For example:

Ethernet

Mod Config

Ether options…

IP Adrs=10.2.3.1/24

Set the RIP parameter to specify that the MAX receives RIP updates from the local GRF 
router:

RIP-Recv=v2

Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the

 

exit and accept

 option.

With this subnet address, the MAX unit requires a static route to the backbone router on the 
main network. Otherwise, it can only communicate with devices on the subnets to which it is 
directly connected. To create the static route and make the backbone router the default route:

Open the Default IP Route profile in the Static Rtes menu.

Set the Gateway parameter to specify the IP address of a backbone router. For example:

Ethernet

Static Rtes

Default

Name=Default

Active=Yes

Dest=0.0.0.0/0

Gateway=10.0.0.17

Preference=100

Metric=1

DownPreference=140

DownMetric=7

Private=Yes

Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the

 

exit and accept

 option.

For more information about IP Route profiles, see “Configuring IP routes” on page 9-55. 

To verify that the unit is connected to the local network, invoke the terminal-server interface 
and Ping a local IP address or hostname. For example:

ascend% ping 10.1.2.3
