MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation and Operation
2.
High protocol timing constraints (SNMP/TFTP) are expected in Intrepid-HC HP/T link chains due to the large
number of hops (each East/West site adds two in-band routing hops), and a large number of managed IDC
nodes.
The following slight optimization may be useful for a chain topology (but not for a ring):
One of the in-band NE management channels is configured as a Default GNE Direction, assuming the channel
leads to the nearest GNE under normal conditions. Then, in-band routing chooses this channel as a first priority
for every “in-band packet” generated internally, or received from the Ethernet interface.
To define IP Addresses:
1.
In the main terminal program menu, select Configuration.
2. Select
System configuration.
3. Select
IDC configuration.
4. Select
IDC Basic configuration.
5. Select
IP.
6.
Define the addresses as described above: element IP and basic IP of the units.
