MPR User Guide
Perform the following initial configuration on the 9500 MPR:
1 Connect the first 9500 MPR Node 1 to the switch using the TMN port or port 4
of the 9500 MPR A.
When the 5620 SAM is connected to the 9500 MPR network via non-9500 MPR
devices like the 7705 SAR or 7750 SR, expect that the TMN in-band feature is
enabled on Node 1 of the 9500 MPR that is connected to non-9500 MPR devices.
For example, SAM-----7705SAR_1/1/1-----port1/4_MPR1
-------(radio)------MPR2.......
In the preceding example, the 9500 MPR Node 1 and port 1/4 are enabled with
VLAN ID and IP addresses and the 7705 SAR is configured with the same
VLAN and IP address from the same subnet.
2 Ensure that the radio links between the 9500 MPRs are working by pinging the
local IP addresses. A connection between two 9500 MPR NEs could be over an
Ethernet or optical link. If the core Ethernet or core optical port is used between
two 9500 MPRs, the ports should be enabled with TMN in-band on the
9500 MPR.
Perform the following network configuration:
1 Verify that you can ping the local IP address of all the NEs from the 5620 SAM
server.
2 Verify that you can ping the 5620 SAM server IP from each of the 9500 MPR
NEs.
3 The 5620 SAM should be able to discover and manage the local IP addresses of
the 9500 MPRs after connectivity is established between the 5620 SAM and the
9500 MPR NEs.
9500 MPR radio link discovery and management
Radio links between 9500 MPR devices are automatically discovered by the
5620 SAM. Radio links between 9500 MPR are shown as physical links by the
5620 SAM, with ports as the endpoint type.
The 5620 SAM supports N × (1+x) radio [x = 0, 1] link discovery. To enable
9500 MPR radio link discovery and management, the 5620 SAM requires
connectivity between the 9500 MPR NE radio ports, as shown in Figure 3-2 and
described in Table 3-1.
Note — The management port IP, TMN in-band IP, and local IP can
be in different subnets.
Note — You can manage the 9500 MPR through the local IP address
even though the management interface via the 5620 SAM server is
not reachable.
