Mate Management Access (IP Forwarding)
Mate Management Access enables the use of in-band management for nodes that
use two IP-20C or IP-20C-HP units (4x4 MIMO, 2+2 XPIC, and 4+0 Multi-Carrier
ABC), where traffic comes from an external switch operating in LAG mode. When
Mate Management Access is enabled, the two units exchange incoming
management packets, ensuring that all management data is received by both
units.
Mate Management Access must be configured via the CLI. For instructions, see
Mate Management Access (IP Forwarding) (CLI)
on page 448.

Configuring In-Band Management
You can configure in-band management in order to manage the unit remotely via
its radio and/or Ethernet interfaces.
Note:
To use in-band management for nodes that utilize two IP-20C or
IP-20C-HP units (4x4 MIMO, 2x2 XPIC, and 4+0 Multi-Carrier ABC), you
must first configure Mate Management Access (IP Forwarding). For
instructions, see
Mate Management Access (IP Forwarding) (CLI)
page 448.
Each IP-20C or IP-20C-HP unit includes a pre-defined management service with
Service ID 257. The management service is a multipoint service that connects the
two local management ports and the network element host CPU in a single
service. In order to enable in-band management, you must add at least one
service point to the management service, in the direction of the remote site or
sites from which you want to access the unit for management.
Note:
In order to use in-band management, it must be supported on the
external switch.
For instructions on adding service points, see
