Version 7.2 149 Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC
User's Manual 12. Network
Parameter Description
Ethernet Device
underlying-dev
[InterfaceTable_UnderlyingDevi
ce]
Assigns an Ethernet Device to the IP interface. An Ethernet Device
is a VLAN associated with a physical Ethernet port (Ethernet
Group). To configure Ethernet Devices, see Configuring Underlying
Ethernet Devices on page 142.
By default, no value is defined.
Note: The parameter is mandatory.
IP Address
Interface Mode
mode
[InterfaceTable_InterfaceMode]
Defines the method that the interface uses to acquire its IP
address.
[3] IPv6 Manual Prefix = IPv6 manual prefix IP address
assignment. The IPv6 prefix (higher 64 bits) is set manually
while the interface ID (the lower 64 bits) is derived from the
device's MAC address.
[4] IPv6 Manual = IPv6 manual IP address (128 bits)
assignment.
[10] IPv4 Manual = (Default) IPv4 manual IP address (32 bits)
assignment.
IP Address
ip-address
[InterfaceTable_IPAddress]
Defines the IPv4/IPv6 address in dotted-decimal notation.
By default, no value is defined.
Note: The parameter is mandatory.
Prefix Length
prefix-length
[InterfaceTable_PrefixLength]
Defines the prefix length of the related IP address. This is a
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)-style representation of a
dotted-decimal subnet notation. The CIDR-style representation
uses a suffix indicating the number of bits which are set in the
dotted-
decimal format. For example, 192.168.0.0/16 is synonymous
with 192.168.0.0 and subnet 255.255.0.0. This CIDR lists the
number of ‘1’ bits in the subnet mask (i.e., replaces the standard
dotted-decimal representation of the subnet mask for IPv4
interfaces). For example, a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 is
represented by a prefix length of 8 (i.e., 11111111 00000000
00000000 00000000) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 is
represented by a prefix length of 30 (i.e., 11111111 11111111
11111111 11111100).
The prefix length is a Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) style
presentation of a dotted-decimal subnet notation. The CIDR-style
presentation is the latest method for interpretation of IP addresses.
Specifically, instead of using eight-bit address blocks, it uses the
variable-length subnet masking technique to allow allocation on
arbitrary-length prefixes.
The prefix length for IPv4 must be set to a value from 0 to 30. The
prefix length for IPv6 must be set to a value from 0 to 64.
The default is 16.
Default Gateway
gateway
[InterfaceTable_Gateway]
Defines the IP address of the default gateway for the IP interface.
When traffic is sent from this interface to an unknown destination
(i.e., not in the same subnet and not defined for any static routing
rule), it is forwarded to this default gateway.
By default, no value is defined.
