Chapter 2. Installing 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module
Following is a sample run of the installation program on the diskette.
Basic unit installation program version 4.3
Press return to keep the default value
Network configuration inside:
Physical device name[eth0]:
IP address [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.242
Netmask/bits [255.255.255.0]: 255.255.0.0
Deactivate other interfaces? (y/n) [n]
Computers from which configuration is allowed:
You can select either a single computer or a network.
Configure from a single computer? (y/n) [y]
If you choose to allow only one computer to configure the Telecommuting Module, you are asked for the IP address
(the netmask is set automatically).
IP address [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.240
If this IP address is not on the same network as the inside of the Telecommuting Module, you are asked for the
router. Enter the IP address of the router on the network where the Telecommuting Module is connected. Now enter
the network address and mask of the network containing the configuring computer.
Static routing:
The computer allowed to configure from is not on a network local to
this unit. You must configure a static route to it. Give
the IP address of the router on the network the unit is on.
The IP address of the router [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.3.1
Network address [10.47.0.0]: 10.10.0.0
Netmask [255.255.255.0]:
You can choose to allow several computers to configure the Telecommuting Module, by answering no to the
question:
Configure from a single computer? (y/n) [y] n
The installation program then asks for the network number. The network number is the lowest IP address in the
series of numbers that includes the configuration computers (see chapter 3, Configuring 3Com VCX IP
Telecommuting Module). The network mask determines the number of computers that can act as configuration
computers.
Network number [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.0
Netmask/bits [255.255.255.0]: 255.255.255.0
If the network or partial network is not directly connected to the Telecommuting Module, you must enter the IP
address of the router leading to that network. Then enter the network’s address and mask.
