26.3 Configuring IP Network Connectivity on SC
Boards
The SC boards participate in IP traffic exchange with the management equipment only
(EMS server, additional SNMP managers, CLI clients etc). Therefore, they are
connected to the OAM (management) subnet only.
Configuration of the SC board's IP network connectivity is performed via the following
steps (typically completed as part of establishing connectivity between the Mediant
8000 and the EMS Server:

Configuring the basic IP network parameters of the SC board – this step
configures basic parameters of the OAM subnet (i.e. subnet IP address, mask
and default gateway) as well as the private IP addresses of each SC board. See
'Configuring the Basic IP Network Parameters of SC Boards' on page
117 for
details.

Configuring the global (virtual) IP address for SC boards – this step configures
the global (virtual) IP address to be used by the active SC board. The address
moves from one SC board to another, as their activity is switched over, and is
used as a "single point of contact" by all management entities (e.g. EMS or
additional SNMP managers). See 'Performing Basic Configuration of the Mediant
8000 Software' on page
146 for details.

Configuring VLAN tagging for the OAM subnet (if applicable). See 'Configuring
VLAN Tags for OAM Subnet' on page
189 for details.
Note: Basic IP Network connectivity on SC boards is typically configured during the
Mediant 8000 software installation or initial configuration. There is no need to repeat
the configuration, if it has already been completed.
