Initial Stand-alone
Configuration
Basic configuration overview
The module in the COP slot controls the local operation of the Stinger CR ATM
DSLAM unit. In hosted mode a COP module is installed in this location and
configuration is performed on the host unit, not locally. In stand-alone mode an
IP2000 or control module is installed in this location and basic configuration is
performed on the management interface of the Stinger CR ATM DSLAM unit. This
stand-alone configuration provides the unit with network connectivity for complete
and ongoing configuration and management.
In stand-alone operation, the IP2000 or control module manages and boots the LIMs,
maintains a central repository of the unit’s configuration, performs call control and
processing operations, and manages all centralized functions, such as SNMP access or
communication with a RADIUS server.
Basic configuration of an IP2000 or control module includes the following tasks:
■
Connecting a console workstation to the serial port on the IP2000 or control
module in the Stinger CR ATM DSLAM unit
■
Logging into the Stinger unit
■
Changing default security settings to protect the unit
■
Configuring IP to make the system accessible by Telnet, SNMP, and Ping
Note
Complete information about configuration of the IP2000 module to support
termination and aggregation of RFC 2684 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) PVCs,
IGMP multicast v1/v2 and IEEE 802.1Q tagged virtual local area networks (VLANs),
is contained in the
Stinger IP Control Modules Configuration Guide
.
Administrative connections
The serial port of an IP2000 or control module is used to perform initial stand-alone
configuration of the Stinger CR ATM DSLAM from a console device. The Stinger CR
ATM DSLAM can then be administered remotely by Telnet or SNMP.
Remote administrative access depends upon an IP network connection to the Stinger
CR ATM DSLAM. This connection can made through a dedicated administrative
network, connected directly to the 10/100 Ethernet port of the IP2000 or control
