User's Manual 138 Document #: LTRT-27045
Mediant 1000B Gateway & E-SBC
Parameter Description
Interface Mode
mode
[InterfaceTable_InterfaceMod
e]
Defines the method that the interface uses to acquire its IP address.
ï‚§ [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.
ï‚§ [4] IPv6 Manual = IPv6 manual IP address (128 bits) assignment.
ï‚§ [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.
DNS
Primary DNS
primary-dns
[InterfaceTable_PrimaryDNSS
erverIPAddress]
Defines the primary DNS server's IP address (in dotted-decimal
notation), which is used for translating domain names into IP
addresses for the interface.
By default, no IP address is defined.
Secondary DNS
secondary-dns
[InterfaceTable_SecondaryDN
SServerIPAddress]
Defines the secondary DNS server's IP address (in dotted-decimal
notation), which is used for translating domain names into IP
addresses for the interface.
By default, no IP address is defined.
