6.1 Configuration of routera
This router is a 6611 Network Processor Model 170. There are three elements of the 6611 Network Processor that are configured to support this scenario:
• System Configuration
• System Management
• Adapter Configuration
The system management configuration for this scenario is identical to that for the first scenario described in Chapter 5, "Basic TCP/IP Example Scenario" on page 145. See Table 13 on page 147 through Table 18 on page 148.
The configuration parameters for the remaining elements are described in the following sections.
6.1.1 System Configuration
System configuration comprises many components. Those components that should be configured to implement this scenario are summarized in Table 45.

Each of the remaining system configuration components that must be configured to support this scenario are described in the following sections.

The configuration parameters for each communication interface that is used to implement this scenario are described in the following sections.
6.1.2.1 Slot 1, Port 1 (Serial): This communication interface is used to provide the PPP link to the other router (" routerb"). A summary of the parameters that should be configured for this interface to implement this scenario is provided in Table 48.

The physical interface, PPP and IP configuration parameters for this scenario are identical to those used in the first example scenario described in Chapter 5, "Basic TCP/IP Example Scenario" on page 145. See Table 21 on page 149 through Table 23 on page 149.
The parameters required to configure SR bridge are listed in Table 49 on page 160.

The parameters required to configure SR bridge filters are summarized in Table 50.

Hop Count 7 Frame Type Both SRB and ARB
The outbound source SAP filter should be configured to operate as a "Deny" filter on both SRB and ARB frames. No SAPs need be specified as this filter is only being configured to support the use of the outbound SNAP value filter.
The parameters required to configure the outbound SNAP value filter are listed in Table 51. The outbound SNAP value filter should be configured to operate as a "Deny" filter.

SNAP Value SNAP Value Mask SNAP Value SNAP Value Mask SNAP Value SNAP Value Mask
X '0800 ' XI FFFF' X '08061 XI FFFF I X '80351 XI FFFF I
All TCP/IP traffic is prevented from crossing this interface via the source route bridging function by the outbound SNAP value filter. Any bridged frames that contain the SNAP values for IP (X 10800 1), ARP (X I 0806 1) or RARP (X 18035 1) are prevented from crossing this interface.
Note: This filter does not prevent TCP/IP traffic from crossing this interface via the IP routing function.
6.1.2.2 Slot 2, Port 1 (Token Ring): This communication interface is used to provide access to a Token-Ring Network. A summary of the parameters that should be configured for this interface to implement this scenario is provided in Table 52.
