Notes: Static ARP entries, isolated mode, static route lookup via RADIUS, and IP address pool
capabilities are not available in IP host operating mode. IP operating mode can not be
set to host unless bridging is enabled. The network interface information required will
also be different if the IP host operating mode is configured.
IP OPERATING MODE CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS
IP OPERATING MODE
The IP operating mode may be configured as either router or host. The default is IP router operating
mode.
IP OPERATING MODE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The IP router operating mode provides a broad range of IP routing capabilities, including support for
static ARP entries, isolated mode, static route lookup, and IP address pool. IP router operating
mode requires each network interface to have a different subnet number assigned to it.
The IP host operating mode allows the management of a device using IP applications (such as Telnet
and SNMP) while operating as a bridge. IP host mode is useful in situations where segmenting a
network into subnets is not desirable, but remote management is required. Bridging must be
enabled before IP host mode is enabled. Only one IP address is assignable, and this IP address is
not associated with any physical interface. All IP traffic destined for the system is processed
