Concentrator systems over an Ethernet network. See the appendix
“Configuring In-Band Management.“
Three basic methods for configuration are possible:
•
Direct connection
The management host connects directly to the Access Concentrator system
being managed.
•
Routed connection
The management host connects over an Ethernet network to an Access
Concentrator system acting as a router. The router Access Concentrator
system in turn has direct in-band management PVC connections to remote
Access Concentrator systems (managed targets).
•
Hybrid connection
To configure the primary IP address for the management host, perform the
steps in the following sections, “Adding an In-Band Management ATM SVC
Connection” and “Adding an In-Band Management ATM SVC Connection”.
Adding an In-Band Management ATM SVC Connection
A Unix workstation is used as the address resolution protocol (ARP) server.
The host Access Concentrator system and all remote systems on the same
ATM network register their IP addresses on the ARP server when they are
initialized (booted). When you want to create an in-band management SVC
connection to one or more remote Access Concentrator systems, you use the
host Access Concentrator system to request the IP addresses of the remote
Access Concentrator systems. After you obtain these IP addresses, you can
create the SVC connections (see Figure 4-14).
