Chapter 1. Overview Of Base Station
The solution is to not use the dedicated management port but rather to use in-
band management on the backhaul port. In doing this, it is required to configure
the DHCP server settings on the BS to submit requests through the backhaul
port.
The basic goal is to allow DHCP/TFTP to happen over the Backhaul link, rather
than only over the Management port (fei).
1.2.2 VLAN Mode
VLAN Mode: Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) is a method that allows network
administrators to create logical broadcast domains, which implies division of local area
network by software rather than using cables. The broadcast domains can span
across one switch or multiple switches. Thus VLANs:
-
Reduces the size of broadcast domains
-
Reduces network traffic
-
Increases Network security
-
Reduces the need to create subnetworks
-
Enables network to be logically separated and not physically.
For the Data Traffic in the VLAN Mode, the VLAN IDs are configured when provision-
ing SS using EMS.
1.2.2.1 VLAN Configurations
In the PacketMax system there are two types of management configurations, based
on the network design, on the PM5000 and they are:
Out of band Management
-
Users can choose the management port on the MSC of the PM 5000 sys-
tem, management traffic. All other traffic will pass through the backhaul
port.
Inband Management
-
Users can choose the backhaul port on the MSC of the PM 5000 system,
for management traffic. In this configuration, both management and data
traffic will flow over the backhaul port.
Optionally, Management VLAN may be specified for management traffic.
The backhaul port connected to the VLAN switch, needs to be configured to dot1q
trunk (IEEE 802.1q) standard.
1.2.2.2 Out of band Management with Management VLAN
Outbound Management
traffic adds security, when the management VLAN is
enabled. The outbound management is tagged with this VLAN ID. Both BS and SSs
should use same VLAN ID as Management VLAN ID. For example, if VLAN ID num-
ber is 1 on BS, it has to be the same (VLAN ID 1) on SS as well. The management
VLAN ID needs to be set:
