Planning Your Ip Configuration; Ip Interface Related Information - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

10 • IP context overview
• To set up the IP router contained in SmartWare, chapter 16,
and chapter 17, "RIP configuration"
• For essential knowledge related to network security requirements, refer to chapter 18,
configuration" on page 203.
• If your network shall provide better service to selected network traffic, chapter 14,
ration" on page 151 will help you to get in-depth knowledge about quality of service (QoS) management
with SmartWare.
The following sections describe the basic tasks involved in IP context configuration. Many parameters have
acceptable default values, which in most cases do not need to be explicitly configured. Hence not all of the con-
figuration tasks below are required. Depending on your application scenario, some tasks are mandatory or
might be optional. The following tasks use a bottom-up approach, starting from the ports, followed by the
interfaces up to the services running on the SmartNode. The first tasks below shall help you obtaining the nec-
essary overview, in view of the fact that there is always a risk getting lost in details before gaining a general
understanding of the whole network.

Planning your IP configuration
The following subsections provide network connection considerations for several types of physical ports types.
Patton recommends that you draw a network overview diagram displaying all neighboring IP nodes and serial
connected elements. Do not begin configuring the IP context until you have completed the planning of your
IP environment.

IP interface related information

Setting up the basic IP connectivity for your SmartNode requires the following information:
• IP addresses used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
• IP Subnet mask used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
• Length for Ethernet cables
• IP addresses of the central H.323 gatekeeper
• IP addresses of the central PSTN gateway for H.323 and SIP based calls
• IP address of the central TFTP server used for configuration upload and download
