15 Connecting an EL-500 to a LAN
The options for connecting an EL-500 to a LAN are described below.
15.1 Routed mode
15.1.1
Manual Configuration
An EL-500 can be directly connected to a LAN without using Network Address Translation.
With this configuration and with the implicit client addressing scheme in use, the router on the
network that the EL-500 is attached to must be configured to forward the client access
interface subnets to the EL-500s Ethernet IP address. The subnet that needs to be forwarded
is:
Class C subnet:
<LAN prefix octet 1>.<LAN prefix octet 2>.<node ID>.0
In the case where the LAN prefix is 10.12 and the node ID is 14, the subnet the router would
need to forward to the EL-500 is 10.12.14.0/255.255.255.0.
If the explicit addressing scheme is used, all the individual client access interface subnets must
be forwarded to the EL-500’s Ethernet IP address.
The sections below describe how to acquire the parameter values that determine what subnets
the router should forward to the EnRoute1000.
CLI
When using the implicit addressing scheme, the subnet information can be retrieved from the
‘sys’ interface as shown below.
>
use sys
sys>
get id.*
sys.id.lanprefix = 10
sys.id.mesh = 12
sys.id.node = 4
This indicates the router needs to forward traffic destined for the 10.12.4.0/255.255.255.0
subnet to the EL-500.
When using the explicit addressing scheme, the subnet information has to be retrieved from
the individual interfaces. The example below shows how to obtain the address information for
‘wlan1’. A similar approach can be used to obtain that information for the other interfaces.
