Introduction; Ip Context And Related Elements - Patton electronics SmartWare R.3.20 Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide

Introduction

This chapter outlines the SmartWare Internet protocol (IP) context and its related components. You will get the
fundamental understanding on how to set up your SmartNode to make use of IP related services.
The following sections describe the configuration steps necessary to put together certain IP services and the ref-
erences to the related chapters that explain the issue in more details.
To understand the information given in the following chapters, carefully read to the end of the current chapter.
Before proceeding, make sure that you feel comfortable with the underlying SmartWare configuration concept
by reading chapter 2,
The IP context in SmartWare is a high level conceptual entity that is responsible for all IP-related protocols and
services for data and voice. The IP context performs much the same function as a standalone IP router, and
since every context is defined by a name, the IP context is named router by default. This IP context can contain
interface static routes, RIP parameters, NAPT, QoS and access control profiles.
In figure 16 on page 106, the IP context with all its related elements is contained within the area on the left,
which has a gray fill. The right side displays the related CS context, which communicates with the IP context
via different types of gateways. Since the CS context and its related components are not the subject of this
chapter, they are illustrated in
