DLP-D249 Provision IP Settings
• MAC Address—(Display only.) Displays the ONS 15454 SDH IEEE 802 MAC address.
• Net/Subnet Mask Length—Type the subnet mask length (decimal number representing the subnet
mask length in bits) or click the arrows to adjust the subnet mask length. The subnet mask length is
the same for all ONS 15454 SDH nodes in the same subnet.
• TCC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port—Provisions the ONS 15454 SDH IIOP listener port. The IIOP
listener port enables communication with the ONS 15454 SDH through firewalls. See the “NTP-D27
Set Up the ONS 15454 SDH for Firewall Access” procedure on page 4-19 for more information.
• Gateway Settings—Provides three check boxes that enable the ONS 15454 SDH proxy server
features. Do not select any of these options until you review the proxy server scenario in the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual. In proxy server networks, the ONS 15454 SDH is either
an external network element (ENE), a gateway network element (GNE), or a proxy-only server.
Provisioning must be consistent for each NE type.
• Enable proxy server on port—If checked, the ONS 15454 SDH serves as a proxy for connections
between CTC clients and ONS 15454 SDHs that are data communications channel
(DCC)-connected to the proxy ONS 15454 SDH. The CTC client establishes connections to
DCC-connected nodes through the proxy node. The CTC client does not require IP connectivity to
the DCC-connected nodes, only to the proxy ONS 15454 SDH. If Enable proxy server on port is off,
the node does not proxy for any CTC clients, although any established proxy connections continue
until the CTC client exits. When this box is checked, you can set the node as an ENE or a GNE:
–
External Network Element (ENE)—If selected, the CTC computer is only visible to the
ONS 15454 SDH to which the CTC computer is connected. The computer is not visible to other
DCC-connected nodes. In addition, firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP
traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.
–
Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If selected, the CTC computer is visible to other
DCC-connected nodes. The node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and
the LAN port.
–
Proxy-only—If selected, the ONS 15454 SDH responds to CTC requests with a list of
DCC-connected nodes for which the node serves as a proxy. The CTC computer is visible to
other DCC-connected nodes. The node does not prevent traffic from being routed between the
DCC and LAN port.
• Click Apply.
Step 4 Click Yes on the confirmation dialog box.
Both TCC2 cards reboot, one at a time. During this time (approximately 5 minutes), the active and
standby TCC2 card LEDs go through the cycle shown in Table 4-1. Eventually, a “Lost node connection,
switching to network view” message appears.
