Subnet masks
Subnet Masks are only required for the RTP Media Portal (renamed to Border
Control Point 7000 Series). Subnet Masks provide greater flexibility in defining
IP addresses for the Media Portal Service Cluster and define the scope of an
address space. This information is used to scope the extent of the service-planes in
the “Media Portal Cluster” data structure and to define static routes in separate
datafill.
Configuring a subnet mask
1 In the System Management Console, from the navigation pane, Select
Network Data and Mtc > Media Portal Data > Subnet Masks.
2 Click Add or select an entry and click Edit.
3 In the Add Subnet Masks dialog box, enter the configuration data.
4 Click Apply.
Deleting a subnet mask
1 Select an entry from the Subnet Masks window.
2 Click Delete.
3 Click Yes to confirm the delete.
Static routes
Static Routes define the special routing considerations that must be employed to
access remote network nodes and network resources. This section is required only
for the Border Control Point. The Static Routes entity contains the static routes
entries that must be populated on the BladeCenter T-based BCP as the BCP comes
into service.
This section applies only to the BladeCenter T-based BCP. For more information,
see “Configuring a static route” on page 44.
