Cyclades-PR2000 17 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions CHAPTER 4 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMON APPLICA TIONS This chapter provides detailed examples that can be used as models for similar applications.
Cyclades-PR2000 18 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP ONE The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.2. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most column.
Cyclades-PR2000 19 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP TWO No more parameters are necessary for the Ethernet interface. The other interface to be configured is the SW AN. The SW AN physical media parameters are shown in Figure 4.3. Fill in the values for your application.

Cyclades-PR2000 21 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP FOUR The Encapsulation parameters for PPP are less straight-forward. Many of them are based on decisions that cannot be shown in a diagram. Fortunately , the choices made here will mostly ef fect the performance of the link, rather than whether it works or not.
Cyclades-PR2000 22 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP FIVE A static route must be added to tell the router that all traffic not intended for the local LAN should be sent to the Access Provider . Chapter 9 of the Installation Manual explains static routes and other routing methods available in CyROS.
Cyclades-PR2000 23 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP SEVEN NA T parameters will now be determined for routing outside of the local LAN. Network Address T ranslation maps the local IP addresses, registered in the local address range menu below , to the one global IP address assigned by the access provider .

Fill in the IP address of the computer where the configuration file should be saved, the file name, the directory name, and the user account information.
Cyclades-PR2000 25 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions Example 2 A LAN-to-LAN Example Using Frame Relay This section will guide you through a complete router installation for the connection of two LANs via Frame Relay . Figure 4.9 shows the example system used in this section.
Cyclades-PR2000 26 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP ONE The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.10. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most column.
Cyclades-PR2000 27 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP TWO No more parameters are necessary for the Ethernet interface. The other interface to be configured is the SW AN in slot 1. The SWAN physical media parameters are shown in Figure 4.1 1. Fill in the values for your application.
Cyclades-PR2000 28 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP THREE The network protocol parameters, shown in Figure 4.12, are similar to those for the Ethernet interface.
Cyclades-PR2000 29 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP FOUR The Encapsulation parameters for Frame Relay are less straight-forward. Many of them are based on decisions that cannot be shown in a diagram. Fortunately , the choices made here will mostly effect the performance of the link, rather than whether it works or not.

Cyclades-PR2000 33 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions Example 3 Link Backup This example shows the configuration of a backup link, with a swan connection to a public Frame Relay Network providing the primary link and a SW AN with a PPP connection providing the secondary link.
Cyclades-PR2000 34 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP ONE The bandwidth used by CyROS for multilink circuit calculations is that given in the traffic control menu, rather than the actual physical bandwidth available. If this bandwidth value is not set, the preset value (zero) will be used and the multilink circuit will not function.

Cyclades-PR2000 36 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP THREE Up to this point, the configuration can be used either for link back up or for load back up. This example shows link back up, but parameters applicable to load back up will be mentioned when they appear .
Cyclades-PR2000 37 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP FOUR Now , a static backup route must be created for the secondary link. It is assumed that a route of some sort (static, RIP , etc.) already exists for the primary link. The static route parameters for the example secondary link are shown in Figure 4.
Cyclades-PR2000 38 Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions STEP SIX The multilink circuit can be tested by temporarily deactivating the interface on the primary link. This is done in the ADMIN=> ST AR T/STOP INTERF ACE menu by selecting the SW AN interface.
Cyclades-PR2000 Appendix A - T roubleshooting 39 APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING What to Do if the Login Screen Does Not Appear When Using a Console. 1 Check the configuration of the terminal. The correct values are given in chapter 2. 2 Check to see if the router booted correctly .
Cyclades-PR2000 Appendix A - T roubleshooting 40 What to Do if the Router Does Not Work or Stops W orking. 1 Check that the cables are connected correctly and firmly (see chapter 2, What is in the Box, for correct cable connection information). 2 Confirm that the Link LED is lit, indicating proper Ethernet cable termination.
Cyclades-PR2000 Appendix A - T roubleshooting 41 T esting the Ethernet Interface After configuring the Ethernet interface, return to the main menu using the <ESC> key as many times as is necessary . Save the configuration to flash memory (the operating system will ask how to save the configuration on the way back to the main menu).
Cyclades-PR2000 Appendix A - T roubleshooting 42 T esting the W AN Interfaces The W AN interface can be tested using ping as described in the previous section. If the ping is not successful, check the routing table to see if a route to the destination exists (INFO =>SHOW ROUTING T ABLE).
Cyclades-PR2000 Appendix A - T roubleshooting 43 • The S column reveals the stage of the test at the time the table was created — D = data transfer , S = synchronization. • The next 4 columns indicate bytes and packets sent and received. • The last three columns indicate the port with which the interface is communicating.
Cyclades-PR2000 Appendix A - T roubleshooting 44 LEDs The LEDs on the PR1000’s case display the following information: • Power - Lit when the PR1000 is turned on. • 10BT - Lit when the Ethernet link is being used for a fast Ethernet connection. • Col - Indicates collisions on the LAN.
