Networking
The Configuration > Networking screen provides view and change settings for
NMS IP addressing and routing.
For a ring network dynamic routing must be selected, RIP or OSPF. Static
routing is not an option.
Single IP addressing should be used at all nodes, except those where there is a
‘north-bound’ interface to another network,
which is static routed . In this
instance, just the interfacing node(s) on the ring must be partitioned using
interface IP addressing:
• In the IP Addressing window, select ‘Use Interface Addressing (Advanced)’
and assign each used port a unique IP address and routing option:
• The RING ports must be set for dynamic routing. OSPF is recommended, in
which case all other nodes on the ring must be set for OSPF.
• The ring-interfacing LINK port must be set for static routing.
For information on the Networking screen, refer to 9500 MXC User Manual,
Volume IV, Chapter 4.
For information on 9500 MXC NMS networking and example networks, refer to
Appendix D.
Figure A-7 shows a ring network example.
If an existing port connection is selected, then its partner port will be returned to
‘pass through ring circuits’, and its original port-to-port connection line will
disappear.
