Networking overview

The standard networking configuration for the AS 5300 system is a
Dual-VLAN configuration. In this type of networking configuration, the
server is connected to two different VLANs (or networks):
The server has a machine logical address for each network and frames
entering and leaving the server are tagged with the appropriate network
identifier. The hosting network equipment must support VLANs and not
perform VLAN tag processing on behalf of the server.
In a typical Dual-VLAN configuration, the majority of network traffic
traverses the Service network. This includes signaling, Operations,
Administration, Maintenance, Provisioning (OAMP), and software
heartbeating. The Maintenance network is used for a few specific
functions, including the extraction of Operations Support Systems (OSS)
feeds by northbound Network Management System (NMS).
