6.1.8.11 Ethernet
Interfaces
A 100Base-T interface is required for the signaling LAN and a
10/100Base-T interface is required for the OS (operations systems) LAN
connections. Recommended cables are shielded CAT-5 Ethernet cables.
The Ethernet addresses have no defaults and the addresses and subnets
masks must be provisioned using the craft port. Addresses are typically
assigned by a system administrator. Personnel who will provision the
Plexus 9000 will need to know the Ethernet addresses and subnet masks to
be assigned.
Each rear SP module has an Ethernet port labeled SIG ENET for
connection to a signaling LAN hub. This LAN is dedicated and connects
the System Processors of Media Gateways (MGs) to SPs of Signaling
Gateways (SGs).
The Plexus 9000 provides two redundant 10/100Base-T management
ports, one on each rear SP, for remote operations system access. These
ports typically connect into a customer-provided management LAN.
