The Interaction of the IP Router with Data Router
Tributary ports are represented by a port number. These typically provide information about the location
of the tributary port – the 4 voice ports on a voice card are represented as n:s:c, where n is the node
number, s is the slot number that the voice card is inserted in, and c is the channel number within the
voice card. A set of special virtual ports has been reserved to represent the IP router WAN ports. These
follow the standard V100 port terminology of n:s:c. As there is no plug-in hardware module for the
integrated IP router, the slot number component (s) of the channel identifier is always 0. Channels 10 to
31 have been allocated for IP router operation. A separate channel is required for each integrated IP V100
router that this unit peers with. The network configuration requires that the peer channel is configured for
each channel configured on the local router. In the example below, Node1 is connected to both Nodes 2
and 3. Channel 0:10 on Node 1 is peered with channel 0:10 on Node2. Channel 0:11 on Node1 is peered
with Channel 0:10 on Node 3.
