3.2 Management Function
The management function of the PTP 300 Series Bridge is logically equivalent to a separate
protocol stack with virtual point of attachment at the Ethernet interface. This is illustrated in
Figure 10.
Figure 10 – PTP 300 Series Bridge Layer Diagram
Each unit in the link is manageable through an IP connection. Standard IP protocols are
utilized for all management functions, for example, HP, SNMP, etc. The unit can be
configured to use
a VLAN with a single C-tag or S-tag
on the management interfaces.
3.3 Configuration and Management
Configuration and Management of the PTP 300 Series Bridge is implemented using an inbuilt
web server hosting a number of Configuration and Management web pages. This approach
allows Configuration and Management to be carried out on any standard web browsing
technology. The PTP 300 Series Bridge can also be managed remotely using the SNMP
management protocol. Connection to the bridge is via the Ethernet connection carrying the
bridge network traffic. Connection to the unit is via a preset IP address. This address can be
changed via the Network Interface Configuration web page. A full explanation of the available
web pages and their use can be found in Section 7 “Web Page Reference”.
