Aviat Networks ECLIPSE EDGE User Manual page 103

• Use of a single IP address and subnet mask (as for 1).
• A default gateway is configured towards the NOC (Network Operating Center),
and static routes are configured for all 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 the link interface also assumes 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 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 Eclipse NMS interface: Ethernet, Link.
• Selection of static or dynamic routing options, as above.
Refer to Rules for Single and Interface Addressing Modes.
NOTE:
Option 3 would normally be used within an Eclipse network.
Rules for Single and Interface Addressing Modes
Single IP Address
• All interfaces assume the Ethernet port address.
• Where OSPF and/or RIP are enabled/disabled, it applies on all interfaces.
• The Single IP address mode is only active if all single mode conditions are met when
the screen is refreshed. If conditions are not met then the interface address mode is
selected. As an example, if the radio is configured with a single IP address and OSPF,
and subsequently the network management system or an SNMP command is used to
turn off OSPF on one interface, the single IP address mode is no longer valid.
Interface (Advanced) Address
• Both interfaces can be uniquely numbered, with entries for IP address, subnet mask,
interface, and next hop. Each interface can set for static or dynamic routing. The
dynamic routing options are OSPF, RIP1, RIP2.
• It may be used in instances where:
• There is a requirement to partition a network between OSPF and RIP routing.
• There is a wish by an operator to adopt an IP address structure, which dictates use
of unique IP addresses for each network interface, and to treat the radio link as a
separately identifiable network. However, bear in mind that for static routed
networks, interface addressing would require all interfaces to also be entered in
the static route tables for all network devices.
