• GatewayIPAddr is the Internet gateway address. This is the gateway that traffic is
routed through if the IGX node and workstation are on different networks. If they are
on the same network, the gateway is not used. The default “none” is displayed in this
case. If a gateway IP is entered and later you want to remove it, enter 192.0.0.0
opposite the prompt and “none” will again be displayed.
A cnflan screen looks like this:
D2.cb1 LAN superuser IGX 8410 9.3 Feb. 27 2000 14:23 PST
Active IP Address: 192.187.207.21
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
TCP Service Port: 5130
Default Gateway IP Address: 192.187.207.1
Maximum LAN Transmit Unit: 1500
Ethernet Address: 00.55.43.00.04.55
Control Socket - Ready
Base Socket Descriptor - 1
Socket Closed
Last Command: cnflan
Next Command:
The active IP address for the workstation has been entered as the IP address selected previously for
the node, 192.187.207.21. The IP Subnet mask is entered as 255.255.255.0 for a Class C LAN
network. TheTCP service portis entered as5120. Becausethe workstation andnode are ondifferent
networks in this example, a gateway address of 192.187.207.1 has been entered. If the workstation
and node are both on the same network, no gateway address is needed. The “Maximum LAN
Transmit Unit” and “Ethernet Address” parameters are not configurable by the cnflan command.
The “Ethernet Address” is a hardware address (“burned into the NPM card”) that is unique to each
NPM card.
Step 4 Connect the Cisco WAN Manager workstation and the IGX node to a LAN network.
Examples are shown in Figure 3-18 and Figure 3-19. The LAN port on the IGX node
providesa DB-15 connectorthat can beconnected toa Y-cable which inturn isconnected
to an AUI as shown in Figure 3-19.
Step 5 To make sure a LAN connection on the IGX LAN port is good, an example hostname of
“sanfran” entered in the config.sv file, enter the following at the Cisco WAN Manager
workstation:
ping sanfran
