Configuration For In-Band Management - LightSand S-2500B Installation And User Manual

Configuration for In-Band Management

In-band management refers to controlling one S-155B from another through the WAN
(SONET or SDH) link between the two gateways. In-band management requires IP traffic to
be carried over the WAN link. This might be necessary when, for example, the remote
gateway is not connected to the Internet for security reasons and therefore cannot be controlled
from a workstation over the Internet.
The following procedure sets up the local gateway and its workstation as the controller of the
remote gateway. The procedure assumes that a SONET or SDH link has already been
configured on the WAN link between the two gateways, as described in
Point Connection (page 3-5).
Ensure that the termination points (TPs) of both gateways have been configured for IP
1.
traffic only or for IP and FC traffic. Refer to
Ensure that the local and remote gateways have IP addresses and network masks
2.
configured for their SONET / SDH ports. These addresses must be on the same subnet
and should not already be in use in the network.
For example, when prompted by the CLI after creating the TPs, use the addresses
192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, with a network mask of 255.255.255.0.
Turn on RIP routing capability for the local gateway's SONET / SDH port.
3.
gateway:> config tp pos 1 ip routing-protocol rip
Turn on RIP routing capability for the local gateway's Ethernet management port.
4.
gateway:> config system enable-rip eth0
Using a serial interface to the remote gateway, turn on RIP routing capability for the
5.
remote gateway's SONET / SDH port.
To view the local and remote routing information:
6.
gateway:> show ip all-routes
The default gateway for the local management workstation (Windows PC or other system)
should be the IP address of the local gateway.
