6.3.3 IP settings for the Ethernet adapter/CU-E
If the XMP1 network is connected via an Ethernet adapter/CU-E, IP settings
are required for the latter.
The IP configuration data can be entered manually via the LSP PDA or
WINLSP or via a BootP/DHCP server.
The manual settings required can be made using LSP/WINLSP menu
item 7: IP Settings.
Note: Settings made via menu item 7: IP Settings will not
become effective until the node is reset.
Note: If the DCCE between SDH nodes is used for
communication, the subnet 192.168.167.0 with the subnet mask
255.255.255.0 (alternative notation: 192.168.167.0/24) should
not be used, because this is used for internal purpose, if no SOA
is configured.
Menu item 70: Enter IP Address
The IP address clearly identifies a network element (NE) within the network
(Internet/Intranet). It can be entered either manually or via a BootP/DHCP
Server.
In menu item 70, the IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the network
element (Central Unit -> Ethernet IF) is entered. To permit a manual entry,
the "Static value" option must be selected via menu item 74.
The setting required for Boot/DHCP server is made via menu item 74.
Menu item 71: Enter Gateway
The IP address of the Gateway is entered via menu item 71.
This address is required for sending NE messages to a computer located in
another IP subnet and addressable only using IP routing. Any IP network
can exist between the NE and computer.
Note: Setting a gateway consistent with the network (to the own
IP address and network mask) for PDH nodes with Ethernet
adapter is mandatory. Otherwise the interface cannot be used.
Setting a gateway is recommended for an access node with SDH.
Normally it is available in the connected network.
Normally a remote SDH node forms a own network with itself as
a single host when operates as SDH node via DCC. In this case
it is not meaningful to enter a gateway. The routes are configured
with OSPF. Enter 0.0.0.0.
