IP Address Allocation
5
Overview
IP addresses are assigned throughout the network model for components
comprising both the service and management domains. This chapter describes
the IP address allocation schemes for the components that make up the HotWire
DSLAM network model. It also describes the naming convention used for the
HotWire DSLAM system interfaces.
Port Naming Convention
The following is the naming convention used for the HotWire DSLAM interfaces:
NOTE:
Interfaces are sometimes referred to as ports. The term
ports, however,
usually is reserved for referring to the physical layer attributes of an interface.
e1a — Interface name of the DSLAM system 10BaseT interface on the MCC
and each DSL card.
s1b — Interface name of each card’s interface to the DSLAM system
backplane bus.
s1c, s1d, s1e, and s1f — Interface names of the four DSL ports on a DSL
card.
NOTE:
These names are used throughout the remainder of this guide to reference
the HotWire DSLAM interfaces. These are also the names used in the
HotWire DSLAM software when configuring the HotWire DSLAM system.
