Configuration procedures

You can configure the Passport 8683POS Module in two basic modes:

• Bridging: Bridging mode is enabled by default. Bridging is configured for connections between two Passport 8683POS Modules and between Passport 8683POS Modules and other devices that support PPP bridging.
• Routing: You select routing mode for connections between your Passport 8683POS Module and other POS-capable routers for IP and IPX routing.

Use Device Manager and/or CLI to perform these configuration and related tasks on the Passport 8683POS Module. For information on advanced configurations, refer to Getting Started with Passport 8000 Series Management Software.
