4 IP Network Planning
This section describes a plan for assigning IP addresses to LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Network
components.
4.1 LMS4000 IP Addressing
Before discussing IP planning, there are a few concepts that are worth reviewing. The first
concept is that in the LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Network, IP addresses are assigned to
devices for several reasons:
The device is a router, such as the gateway (NAP) router or the CCU. IP addresses
are required for each router port.
The device is a destination or source for user data. End-user PCs and network
servers (such as DHCP servers) fall into this category.
The operator wants to configure, control, or monitor the device. Virtually all LMS4000
components fall into this category.
