10.2.5 Incorporating Existing LAN DNS
The method of incorporating an existing LAN DNS begins with configuring the Hub Master
DNS forwarding as outlined in Section 10.1.5 and continues with some maintenance at the
upstream DNS. At a minimum, the upstream DNS needs to be updated with each Hub Master
node’s IP address and full hostname (including its domain). Ideally, this maintenance would be
automated, and the RAN nodes would also be maintained in the upstream DNS.
Implementations of this are as varied as the networks being maintained, and may need to be
custom designed by a network administrator.
11 CONFIGURING THE HUB “SLAVE” AND RAN NODES
The Digivance CXD system takes care of networking concerns for the Hub “Slave” and RAN
nodes, leaving only some clerical steps to take to configure these nodes. These clerical steps
are encompassed by the Hub and RAN Node MIB’s.
11.1 Managing The Hub Node MIB
This MIB correlates Hub node IP addresses with their hostnames and physical locations. It
resides solely at Hub Master nodes. It is comprised of the following elements:
11.1.1 Site ID
transceptHubNodeTable.transceptHubNodeSiteID
The Site ID designates the physical location of the HUB. Often, wireless operators already
have site IDs laid out for their markets and BTS installations, such as “Memphis203” or
“Cell29PA”, and these designators work well for pinpointing the location of the HUB. GPS
coordinates or road names also work well. The Site ID can be up to 64 characters long.
11.1.2 CPU Rack ID
transceptHubNodeTable.transceptHubNodeCPURackID
Hub Racks must be given unique identifiers using the CPU Rack ID field. This can be as
simple as numbering Hub Racks from 1...N, numbering them based on their serial number, or
coming up with some other naming convention. Once a plan is adopted, it is highly
recommended that the racks be labeled accordingly at installation. The CPU Rack ID is limited
to 15 characters.
11.1.3 CPU Chassis ID
transceptHubNodeTable.transceptHubNodeCPUChassisID
Chassis in a rack also need to be uniquely identifiable by using the CPU Chassis ID field. The
convention is to number the chassis based on the highest U-number they occupy in the rack.
The CPU Chassis ID can be comprised of up to 15 characters.
