Interface Addressing Screen Description
• The Interface Addressing screen opens with line entries for the Ethernet port,
the Link(s), and the V.24 maintenance port.
• If single IP addressing has previously been set, then the Ethernet line is
populated with its details, as above. The Link and V.24 lines show default IP
address and Subnet mask settings of 1.0.0.1 and 255.255.255.255 respectively.
• All interfaces should be configured. Link NMS ports can be left unnumbered
(default), as a proprietary connection is established over the radio path for NMS
transport. However, to conform with established IP network practice, link ports
which are to be left unnumbered, should be set for an IP address of 0.0.0.0, and
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255, whereupon such interfaces are shown to
assume the address of the router/Ethernet port.
• If dynamic routing is to be used on one or more interfaces, enable by clicking
on the RIP or OSPF selections. Follow the guidelines under Configuring Single
IP Addressing and Dynamic Routing on page 10-6.
• If static routing is to be used, follow the Static Routing procedures under
Configuring Single IP Addressing and Static Routing on page 10-6.
Configuring Trap Destinations
The Trap Destinations screen supports identification of a network management
server to which traps can be sent from 9500 MXC via its network management
network. Two modes are supported, ProVision or Third Party:
• ProVision Mode sends a common trap for all alarms, alerting the ProVision
element manager to break its polling cycle and go straight to the alarmed 9500
MXC.
• Third Party Mode sends traps specific to each alarm, providing a description
of the event and it severity.
Figure 10-4 shows an example Trap Destinations screen.
For guidance on IP addressing and routing, refer to Appendix D.
Where unique IP addressing is wanted on each interface (such as on links) the
address would normally be set to identify them as separate network elements
(unique network address).
