Add Lifeline Route - Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 700 User Manual

C
ONFIGURE A
All dynamic routing information is lost when there is a failure on the OA-780.
In this environment, it may be impossible to reach the system remotely from
multiple hops away in the network. The Lifeline Agent caches the dynamic/static
routing information during the normal mode of operation and uses this to provide
reachability in Lifeline Mode. However, static routing or additional configuration
may be required on the next hop router from the OA-780 system or other routers
on the path to the remote administrator.
This page allows you to configure a special Lifeline static route, which allows you
to configure a route to a management station well-known to you. This route is
used during Lifeline only. When the OA-780 is in Lifeline Mode, the Lifeline Agent
will add this route to its local RIB, which ensures that a route exists to the
management station.
Note: You must ensure that this route is reasonable and correct, and that other routers along
the route path chosen are willing to handle the routing as well. This route is similar to a
default static route. The interface used for forwarding packets via this route must be
one of the line cards that support lifeline.
Interface cards that are currently supported: T1E1 line card - all L2 encapsulation
protocols available on the T1E1 ports in Normal Mode are supported in Lifeline Mode
viz. HDLC, PPP and Frame Relay, and L2-GE (Layer 2) line cards.
To add a Lifeline static route, follow the procedure given below:
1. Click Add in the Routes table in Lifeline page.
