Network management

IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
The PTP 650 ODU contains an embedded management agent with IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
Network management communication is exclusively based on IP and associated higher layer
transport and application protocols. The default IPv4 address of the management agent is
169.254.1.1. There is no default IPv6 address. The PTP 650 does not require use of supplementary
serial interfaces.
MAC address
The management agent end-station MAC address is recorded on the enclosure and is displayed on
the Status web page. The MAC address is not configurable by the user.
VLAN membership
The management agent can be configured to transmit and receive either untagged, priority-
tagged, C-tagged (IEEE 802.1Q) or S-tagged (IEEE 802.1ad) frames. C-tagged and S-tagged frames
must be single tagged. The VLAN ID can be 0 (priority tagged) or in the range 1 to 4094.
Ethernet and DHCP priority
The management agent transmits IPv4 and IPv6 management packets with a configurable DHCP
value in the range 0 to 63. If the management agent is configured to operate in a management
VLAN, the Ethernet frames will be transmitted with a configurable Ethernet priority in the range 0
to 7. The same DHCP and Ethernet priorities are assigned to all management packets generated by
the agent. Management frames are multiplexed with customer data frames of the same priority for
transmission at the wireless port.
Access to the management agent
The management agent can be reached from any Ethernet port at the local ODU that is allocated to
either Data and In-Band Management or Out-of-Band Local Management.
If the wireless link is established, the management agent can also be reached from the remote
ODU via an Ethernet port that is allocated to Data and In-Band Management.
Management frames are processed by the management agent if (a) the destination MAC address
in the frame matches the ODU MAC address, and (b) the VLAN ID in the frame matches the VLAN
configuration of the management agent.
If Local Packet Filtering is enabled, unicast frames forwarded to the management agent as in-band
management are filtered, that is, not forwarded in the customer data network.
