On the Router
• No additional configuration required.
Gaining Remote NE IP access
On the Management Unit
• Follow the steps on “Gain GNE IP Access”.
On the GNE
• Enable the Advertise option on the Ethernet IP address.
On the Router
• Add a static route to reach the remote NE IP address. The IP address could be the CCT IP
addresses of the remote NE, the R1 IP address, or the Front Craft Ethernet port IP addresses. Com-
mands might vary by manufacturer.
NOTE: If R1 or Front Craft Ethernet IP address is used, the Advertise option needs to be enabled in
order to work.
9.6 DCN Design Guideline
Each DCN design is different, some are larger, some are smaller. Some require external network equip-
ment (e.g. routers or switches) to provide scalability while some require no additional equipment. The fol-
lowing tables list some the TE-2020 DCN design guidelines and limitations for the network designer and
architect to build a reliable TE-2020 DCN.
NOTE: On particular brands of hubs/switches, when an active/standby switch is initiated, a con-
nected hub/switch may lock up, sometimes requiring a reset or even a power-cycle of the switch/hub
to recover.
