Hello List:

I am setting up a 3COM TC1000 Chassis with the following hardware:

1- HiPer NMC 2- HiPer ARC 10- Hipper DSP

For testing purposes, I have set aside an ip pool from 12.21.237.168/C Size 72. How do I setup each HiPer ARC? Currently, when I setup HiPer ARC (using CLI to setup ARC), I assign 12.21.237.168 as 'Initial Address of IP Pool'. Is it correct or I should divide the IP Pool and assign a one block of IP addresses to one ARC and different block to the second ARC.

Arc's will only assign IP's from pools they have been configured with and to modems they have ownership of. Take into consideration i don't do dynamic slot assignment. So, assuming each arc owns half the modems and you want them to each have half your class C ... of the form (all on one line) add ip poOL <ip pool num> inITIAL_POOL_ADDRESS <ip/cidr> siZE <# of IP> staTE <pub/priv> on arc1 add ip poOL 6 inITIAL_POOL_ADDRESS 12.21.237.1/25 siZE 126 staTE priVATE set ip pool 6 route aggregate state public on arc2 add ip poOL 6 inITIAL_POOL_ADDRESS 12.21.237.129/25 siZE 126 staTE priVATE set ip pool 6 route aggregate state public The lset line is due to some bug in my hiperarc version that won't let you set an aggregate route during an add or when the state is public. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 325-691-3301 800-299-6962
