84 IP Context Overview
11 IP CONTEXT OVERVIEW
This chapter outlines the SmartWare Internet protocol (IP) context , together with its related
components. You will get the fundamental understanding on how to set up your SmartNode to
make use of IP related services.
In the following sections configuration steps necessary to put together certain IP services are
illustrated, together with the references to the related chapters that explain the issue in more details.
Understanding the information given in the following chapters requires that you carefully read to
the end of this chapter. Prior proceeding with this chapter make that you feel comfortable with the
underlying SmartWare configuration concept by reading Chapter
4 , “ Configuration Concepts ”.
Moreover refer to Chapter 14, “Context IP Mode”, in the SmartWare Command Reference Guide for
an in depth description of the related commands.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Introduction
• IP Context Overview Configuration Task List
11.1 Introduction
The IP context in SmartWare is a high level conceptual entity that is responsible for all IP related
protocols and services for data and voice. In a first approximation the IP context performs the same
function as a standalone IP router. Every context is defined by a name; therefore the IP context is
named
router for default. This IP context may contain interface static routes, RIP parameters, NAPT,
QoS and access control profiles, and related ISoIP or H.323 gateways.
In Figure
ow, the IP context with all its related elements is contained within the area on the
left, which has a gray fill. On the right side the related CS context is shown, which communicates
with the IP context via different types of gateways. Since the CS context and its related components
are not the subject of this chapter, they are illustrated in Figure
h gray lines instead of black.
