2-18 MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation and Operation
2. High protocol timing constraints (SNMP/TFTP) are expected in Intrepid-HC HP/T link chains due to the large
number of hops (each East/West site adds two in-band routing hops), and a large number of managed IDC
nodes.
The following slight optimization may be useful for a chain topology (but not for a ring):
One of the in-band NE management channels is configured as a Default GNE Direction, assuming the channel
leads to the nearest GNE under normal conditions. Then, in-band routing chooses this channel as a first priority
for every “in-band packet” generated internally, or received from the Ethernet interface.
To define IP Addresses:
1. In the main terminal program menu, select Configuration .
2. Select System configuration .
3. Select IDC configuration .
4. Select IDC Basic configuration .
5. Select IP .
6. Define the addresses as described above: element IP and basic IP of the units.
