Data network planning

Management mode

Decide how the PTP 600 will be managed.
In the default in-band management mode, the management agent can be reached from
the Ethernet port at the local ODU, and (assuming that the wireless link is established)
from the Ethernet port at the remote ODU.
In the alternative in-band local management mode, the IP interface of the
management agent is always connected in a VLAN, and Ethernet frames in this
management VLAN are filtered (discarded) at the wireless port. Use the in-band local
management mode in networks that require only local access to the ODU management
agent. For correct operation of in-band local management mode, ensure that the same
management VLAN ID is configured at both ends of the link.
Make sure that the same management mode is selected for ODUs at both ends of a
link. See Management network
modes.

VLAN membership

Decide if the IP interface of the ODU management agent will be connected in a VLAN.
If so, decide if this is a standard (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN or provider bridged (IEEE
802.1ad) VLAN, and select the VLAN ID for this VLAN.
Use of a separate management VLAN is strongly recommended. Use of the
management VLAN helps to ensure that the ODU management agent cannot be
accessed by customers.
The in-band local management mode is not available unless the IP interface is
connected in a VLAN.

Priority for management traffic

Choose the Ethernet priority for management traffic generated within the ODU
management agent. The priority should be selected so as to be consistent with existing
policy on priority of management traffic in the network. Use of a high priority is
strongly recommended to ensure that management traffic is not discarded if the link is
overloaded.
