IP Address Allocation

June 1997
Management IP Address Allocation
The primary functionality of the management domain is monitoring and
configuring the network. To provide this capability, IP addresses must be
allocated for the components that are monitored and configured by the NMS and
MCC card.
Component
IP Address Requirement
MCC Card The MCC card must have two IP addresses:
 One IP address for connectivity to the NMS or Router
(connecting to the NMS). This address is also known as
the Router ID.
 One IP address to communicate to the DSL cards (over
the system backplane interface) in the HotWire DSLAM
chassis.
These two IP addresses must be on separate
subnetworks of the NMS domain. That is, they can be on:
 Completely separate networks (e.g., 135.1.0.0/16 and
143.1.0.0/24).
 Completely separate subnets (e.g., 135.1.1.0/24 and
135.1.2.0/24), or
 Subnets of the domain (e.g., 135.1.0.0/16 and
135.1.2.0/24).
To configure the MCC card, use the HotWire DSLAM user
interface. For step-by-step instructions, see Chapter 4 of
the
HotWire Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer
(DSLAM) User’s Guide .
DSL Card — Management
Domain
Each DSL card must have one management IP address in
the same subnetwork as the MCC card’s system
backplane IP address.
To configure the DSL card management IP addresses,
use the HotWire DSLAM user interface. For step-by-step
instructions, see Chapter 4 of the
HotWire Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) User’s
Guide
.
HotWire 5446 RTU —
Management Domain
Each RTU must have one management IP address in the
same subnetwork as the MCC card’s system backplane IP
address.
NOTE: Since there could be four HotWire 5446 RTU
per DSL card and 18 DSL cards per HotWire
DSLAM, a maximally-configured system
would have 72 HotWire 5446 RTU
management IP addresses, and these must
be in the same subnetwork as the MCC
card’s system backplane interface and the
18 DSL cards management IP addresses
(total of 91 addresses).
To configure the HotWire 5446 RTU management IP
addresses, use the HotWire DSLAM user interface. For
step-by-step instructions, see Chapter 4 of the

Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)
