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

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 3 Telco Line Connection Requirements The Octal V.35-10/100 is not a line communications device. In order to connect each V.35 port to a wide area transmission line, you must use a 56K CSU/DSU, ISDN Terminal Adapter, or T1/E1 CSU/DSU. Which of these devices you use depends on the type of telco line you are connecting to. Note: Before attempting to connect the Octal V.35-10/100 to a leased telco line, use the loopback features of your CSU/DSUs to check the

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.35-10/100 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 star

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 0 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:

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 6 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. WAN Interface Configuration The default setting for all WAN interfaces on your Octal V.35-10/100 RIOP is Off for all protocols and for the link configuration. In order to use a WAN interface, you must first set some physical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.

TB: Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword in the IP WAN 0 (and/or any other port you wish to configure) section. Add static routes and a default router using the edit config IP Static command. 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, r

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.
