5-40 Configuring, Installing, and Using Carrier Infrastructure
Recommended parameter changes
Before deploying a base station, it is recommended that you assign the base station a cell
name and a sector name.
set system cell
This parameter specifies the cell name in which the base station is installed.
Example: set system cell RiverBendRoad
set system sector
This parameter specifies the sector in which the base station is installed.
Example: set system sector north
set DHCP state
If you want to use a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to base stations, set this parameter
to enabled.
Example: set DHCP state enabled
Setting legacy and management VLAN IDs
When the base station is shipped from the factory, the identification numbers for the legacy
VLAN and for the management VLAN are both set to 1.
If you or your ISPs use only CPEs that run Version 2.x software code or later, you do not
need to change the default id for either VLAN.
However, if you have some CPEs running version 1.x code, you need to set up a legacy
VLAN with an identification number different from the management VLAN ID. The legacy
VLAN then services all CPEs that run version 1.x software code.
set vlan legacy id
This command specifies the identification number for all legacy CPEs—CPEs that run
version 1.x software code. Make sure the legacy VLAN configuration setting is identical on all
base stations in the network.
Example: set vlan legacy id 4
set vlan mgmt id
This command specifies the identification of the management VLAN. The management
VLAN is used for network management. It also handles authorization protocol messages. All
base stations attach to the management VLAN. A network access provider must have one
management VLAN. The VLAN identification number must be the same number on all base
stations in the network.
Example: set vlan mgmt id 1
