IP/LAN Connectivity on Directly Connected NE Management Configuration
IP/LAN Connectivity on Directly
Connected NE
NEs can be connected to the management LAN using an out-of-band, dedicated management
port COLAN (MGMT) connection, or an in-band connection that is implemented through
any service port such as ETH or HSL (in relevant MLs).
NOTE: COLAN (MGMT) port is disabled by factory default.
When enabling the COLAN (MGMT), ensure that there are no Ethernet loops between the
COLAN (MGMT) and Service ports (ETH or HSL), see Resolving Non-Alarmed Service
Problems (on page 15-16).
To provide IP/LAN connectivity on a locally connected NE, you will need the Management
VLAN, IP address, IP gateway address, and IP subnet mask information from your Network
Administrator for each NE installed in the topology.
