HAPTER 1: CUDA 12000 OVERVIEW
IP Routing Configuration
The Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to exchange
data over computer networks consisting of cable and Ethernet interfaces. In
addition, it supports RIP and OSPF routing protocols to exchange routing
information with other routers in the IP network.
To integrate the Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch into your network, the
following configuration must be accomplished:
■ Configure the CMTS interfaces so that the cable modems range properly.
■ Provision cable modems, Multimedia Terminal Adapters (MTAs), and CPE
(Customer Premise Equipment) devices, using the FastFlow Broadband
Provisioning Manager or a third-party provisioning server.
■ Configure DHCP subnets, so that the DHCP server gives out IP addresses
to cable modems, MTAs, and CPE devices.
■ Configure IP on your cable, Ethernet, and Packet Over SONET interfaces
to connect the Cuda 12000 to your backbone network and provide the
subscribers access to the Internet.
■ For the HFC segments, configure DHCP relay to specify the subnet to be
used for assigning IP addresses to cable modems, MTAs, and CPE devices.
IP, RIP and OSPF can currently be configured on any of the interfaces within
the Cuda12000 IP Access Switch.
