IP Network Planning
This section describes a plan for assigning IP addresses to LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Network
components.
4.1
LMS4000 IP Addressing
Before discussing IP planning, there are a few concepts that are worth reviewing. The first
concept is that in the LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Network, IP addresses are assigned to
devices for several reasons:
•
The device is a router, such as the gateway (NAP) router or the CCU. IP addresses
are required for each router port.
•
The device is a destination or source for user data. End-user PCs and network
servers (such as DHCP servers) fall into this category.
•
The operator wants to configure, control, or monitor the device. Virtually all LMS4000
components fall into this category.
