PPP-IPCP Chassis Management Channel 164
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 11 • In-band management
Example 1: Routed PPP (IPCP) Chassis Management Channel
This example is to make a routed-PPP chassis management channel between three T-DAC’s, which may be any
of the Models’ 3096RC, 3196RC or 2616RC. The channels are defined as follows:
In the discussion of this example of Chassis Management Channels, call the gateway T-DAC Root and non-
gateway T-DACS Nodes. Assume the gateway T-DAC resides in slot 3, with additional T-DACS in slots 4 and
5 (see figure 94). With this configuration, define the default gateway parameters as follows:
The Root T-DAC in slot 3 functions as the in-band management gateway for the T-DACS in slots 4 and 5.
Do not check the Default Gateway box (see figure 94).
The Node T-DAC in slot 4 will connect via a Chassis Management Channel to the Root T-DAC in slot 3.
Checking the Default Gateway box in the slot-4 Node T-DAC automatically adds the IP address of the slot-
3 master T-DAC to its IP routing table as the default gateway. Do check the Default Gateway box (see
figure 94).
The Node T-DAC in slot 5 similarly connects to the Root T-DAC in slot 5 via a Chassis Management Chan-
nel. Checking the Default Gateway box in the slot-5 Node T-DAC automatically adds the IP address of the
slot-3 master T-DAC to its IP routing table as the default gateway. Do check the Default Gateway box (see
figure 94).
