Connectivity
The different versions of the FBRM and BFFG can be connected and set up to
manage a remote peer completely. In a mixed setup with other FBRM or BFFG
Devices, consider the connectivity scenarios in Figure 9, and the explanation that
follows:

Connection
scenario
explanation
In Figure 9, P2 of the active local peer in both scenarios is “OAM enabled” and
“Active” by default. To manage the remote passive peer via OAM, configure P1 of
the active local peer as follows:
•
Enable OAM
•
Select Active mode
If the connection to the passive remote peer is made thru P2 of the active local peer,
OAM occurs without human intervention.
Note:
Automatic firmware upgrades will not occur with different types of FBRM
or BFFG Device configurations.
