IP Addressing Scheme Examples
Management of IP addressing is based upon individual IP addresses assigned to
each interface. The IP interfaces for the unit are the:
Management port: Set the Port Use option to Net Link; see
Management Port
Options
,
Table A-5.
IMC: Set the In-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) to 1600, 4000, or
8000 bps; see
Network Interface Options
, Table A-2.
NOTE:
For IP addressing, involve your Information Systems (IS) department since
the department decides on the IP addressing scheme used for your
organization.
The following illustrations and examples apply to IP management traffic only.
The subnet mask shown for these examples is 255.255.255.000.
IMC Connection – Same Subnet
In this example, DSU A is connected to:
The NMS, at the central site, via a LAN adapter
A remote unit, DSU B, through the proprietary IMC
NOTE:
Interconnected DSUs will automatically pass routing information between
each other using a proprietary protocol. However, a static route to
subnet 135.18.2.0 must be set in the routing table of the NMS Host.
