13.2 IP Addressing Scenarios
ONS 15454 IP addressing generally has eight common scenarios or configurations. Use the scenarios as
building blocks for more complex network configurations.

They can be connected to LANs through direct connections or a router.
IP subnetting can create multiple logical ONS 15454 networks within a single Class A, B, or C IP
network. If you do not subnet, you will only be able to use one network from your Class A, B, or C
network.
Different IP functions and protocols can be used to achieve specific network goals. For example,
Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) enables one LAN-connected ONS 15454 to serve as a
gateway for ONS 15454s that are not connected to the LAN.
Static routes can be created to enable connections among multiple CTC sessions with ONS 15454s
that reside on the same subnet.
ONS 15454s can be connected to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) networks so that ONS 15454
network information is automatically communicated across multiple LANs and WANs.
The ONS 15454 SOCKS (network proxy protocol) proxy server can control the visibility and
accessibility between CTC computers and ONS 15454 element nodes.

General ONS 15454 IP Troubleshooting Checklist

What to Check
Verify that link integrity exists between:
• CTC computer and network hub/switch
ONS 15454s (backplane wire-wrap pins or RJ-45 port) and network
•
hub/switch
Router ports and hub/switch ports
•
If connectivity problems occur, set the hub or switch port that is connected to
the ONS 15454 to 10 Mbps half-duplex.
Ping the node to test connections between computers and ONS 15454s.
Verify that ONS 15454 IP addresses and subnet masks are set up correctly.
Verify that ONS 15454 optical trunk (span) ports are in service and that a DCC
is enabled on each trunk port.
