Configuring the BPX Switch LAN and IP Relay
During the configuration of BPX switch interfaces, you must make sure that the following parameters
are consistently set with your local area network (Ethernet LAN):
•
The BPX switch IP address
•
SNMP parameters
Network IP address
•
To set the parameters, use the BPX switch commands as described in Table 20-1. On BPX and IGX
switches, use these commands to configure the nodes for operation with Cisco WAN Manager.
