Procedure 6-3
Network element initialization
Use this procedure to:
• configure a network element in SDH or SONET mode
• configure the initial Ethernet IP address, router ID and the subnet mask
length and the network element name
• initialize the network element with a desired configuration
The SLAT page is displayed when:
• while initializing the network element
• when configuration gets corrupted
• when restore factory default option is chosen
Ethernet IP
Each network element has a network management system (NMS) interface,
which is a 10/100 network interface controller (NIC) port. Ethernet IP is the IP
address with which the network element communicates with the external
world.
Router ID
Network element communicate in the network over the embedded
communication channel (ECC), using the router ID. A network element can be
configured either as a gateway element (interconnecting two networks) or just
a pass-through network element.
After restoring configuration data in the network element, ensure to commit or
cancel the restored data before performing this procedure.
Note: If you need to configure the network element as a gateway network
element, then refer to the Planning Guide, S78-1002-110, for more
information.
Prerequisites
• Log into the network element WUI.
• Make sure your PC is correctly connected to the network element through
the Craft interface.
• Make sure that you have the Ethernet IP address, router ID, subnet mask,
and static route IP.
• Make sure the PC is configured in the same subnet as LAN/CRAFT
interface of the network element.
