Setting Up IP Routing You must set up the port that accesses the server for IP routing. To set up IP
routing, follow these steps:
1 Log on as root and press the Return key.
The password prompt is displayed.
2 At the password prompt, press the Return key.
The network manager prompt (Enterprise OS #) is displayed.
3 Set up an IP address and subnet mask using:
SETDefault !<port> -IP NETaddr = <IP address> [<subnet mask>]
For more information on IP configuration, see Reference for Enterprise OS
Software.
This step needs to be completed using the console port before telnet or Web Link
can be used.
4 Enable IP routing by entering:
SETDefault -IP CONTrol = RO
5 Enable a routing protocol. For example, to enable RIP use:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = (Listen, Talk)
This step is optional.
6 Ensure your configuration by verifying that the bridge/router can access other
devices on the network, use:
PING <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of another device on the network.
