Appendix C Configuring In-Band Management
Using the Hybrid Connection Configuration
Perform the steps in the following procedure to configure a hybrid
connection.

Steps to Setting Connections for Hybrid Connection Configuration
1
In the hybrid connection type, Ethernet to in-band network routing as
well as ATM channel tunneling is used. Log in as root on the SUN
machine and add a routing table entry using “route add” command:
route add net
< In-Band network address> <PSAX IP address on Ethernet>
<metric>
where the in-band network address = 20.0.0.0
PSAX IP address on Ethernet = {Check Site Specific Configuration -> Site
Specific Configuration -> IP AddrPSAX systemess on the main router PSAX
system [ node A]}
metric = 10
2
In this configuration, only one PSAX system can act as the router to
channel traffic from Ethernet to the in-band network. This is the main
router PSAX system. The main router PSAX system has direct ATM
connections to all remote PSAX systems. (These connections may be
tunneled through a number of switches.)
3
On the main router PSAX system, the in-band management interface
(primary) should be assigned an IP address that is on a different network
than that of its Ethernet interface.
