CTOG-250 Comtech Traffic Optimization Gateway Revision 1
Appendix C MN-CTOG250
C–4
For Advanced VSAT BPM Mode, it is important to note that the CTOG-250 and CDM-840s learn
MAC addresses and avoid any unnecessary transmission. In BPM Mode, the CDD-880 functions
as a receive-only pass-through to the CTOG-250.
C .3.2 Management Network
Note that, while the Advanced VSAT BPM feature supports Bridged Traffic ports, the
Management ports for all units in the Advanced VSAT System must operate in Router Mode.
When in BPM Mode, the Traffic ports on the Advanced VSAT units do not have IP Addresses (as
you would expect from an Ethernet Switch). Therefore, the units cannot be managed (SNMP,
Web, Telnet) or pinged from this interface.
Figure C-5. Management Network in BPM Mode
When configuring the CTOG-250 for “BPM” Working Mode, Comtech Dynamic Routing Protocol
(CDRP) continues to work as expected to populate the CTOG-250 with the routes required to
manage the remote CDM-840s via their Management IP Addresses. Handle the Return Link
Routed Management Traffic by entering a default route (0.0.0.0/0 “toWAN”) in the CDM-840’s
routing table.
As with “Router” Working Mode, you must enable CDRP in order for ACM/VCM on the DVB-S2
Outbound Carrier to work for Management Traffic destined to each remote.
User traffic on the Traffic ports does not require CDRP, as BPM automatically and seamlessly
handles ACM/VCM for this traffic.
