Defining a Chassis (H.110) Management Channel 160
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 11 • In-band management
IP Address is the local IP address of the PPP link in BCP applications. This IP address should be a different
subnet than the subnet of the T-DAC (i.e., the IP address assigned to the Ethernet port and the subnet
defined via the IP mask).
IP Mask is 255.255.255.255 by default. Change it to a subnet that will include both ends of the BCP
channel and equipment on the other end of the BCP link. For example, 255.255.255.0.
Status. Once LCP has finished the negotiation of the configuration values, the link is in the UP state. For
data transfer to occur, the Network Control Protocol (NCP) must be established. In this example, the
NCP is BCP. The two possible states are:
– DOWN, meaning the link is not yet in the UP state. (The UP state is typically reached upon completion
of the LCP, Authorization/LQM phases. In this instance, there is no Authorization/LQM phase.)
UP, meaning the link is in the UP state. It may or may not have established the NCP. NCP must be estab-
lished for data transfer over a PPP link.
Note
There is no authentication in the in-band management channels.
To change any of these three parameters—Slot, IP Address, or IP Mask—click on the Modify Management
Channels… hyperlink (see figure 91 on page 158).
Deleting the T1/E1 management channel
1. If you need to change the parameters for the T1/E1 management channel, you must first delete it and cre-
ate a new one by clicking on T1/E1 in the Interface Type column. The WAN Circuit CONFIGURATION
LINK: 2 page displays.
2. Click on the Channel Assignment… hyperlink, change all of the PPP timeslots for this management chan-
nel to Clear, and click on Submit Query.
3. Go back to the In-Band Management Overview to verify that the T1/E1 management channel has
been deleted.
Defining a
Chassis (H.110) Management Channel
The Chassis Management Channels are in-band management channels between cards within the same Fore-
Front chassis, or chassis segments in the Model 6676 chassis. They can be configured for routed PPP (IPCP) or
bridged PPP (BCP) links, depending on the application.
