Rules For Single And Interface Addressing Modes - Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MXC User Manual

Rules for Single and Interface Addressing Modes

Single IP Address
3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007
• A default gateway is configured towards the NOC (network operating
Center), and static routes are configured for all Nodes/Terminals pointing
away.
• Requires manual configuration and maintenance of the routing table for all
devices within the network.
3. Single IP addressing and dynamic routing:
• Use of a single IP address and subnet mask. This specifies the Ethernet port
address, and all other interfaces (links, V.24) assume this address (as above).
• Requires selection of OSPF and/or RIP, whereupon the routing is
established and maintained without manual intervention.
• If the NMS network into which the Node/Terminal is to be installed has been
OSPF segmented, Enable OSPF Area must be selected and the number for
the area entered, which will be a number determined by area-boundary
routers installed in the network.
• Does not require manual configuration of routing tables. Generally devices
can be added to or removed from the network without impacting NMS
connectivity.
4. Interface (advanced) IP addressing and static or dynamic routing:
• Use of a separate IP address for each 9500 MXC NMS interface: Ethernet,
Link(s), V.24.
• Selection of static or dynamic routing options, as above.
Refer to Rules for Single and Interface Addressing Modes on page 10-3.
Option 3 would normally be used within a 9500 MXC network.
For extended rules, hints and tips, and network examples, refer to Appendix D.
• All interfaces assume the Ethernet port address.
• Where OSPF and/or RIP are enabled/disabled, it applies on all interfaces except
V.24. (Dynamic options can only be selected for the V.24 interface within
interface addressing).
