Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Superuser

Caution All network changes should be approved by your network (or LAN) administrator.

Step 1 If you are in network view, switch to node view by double-clicking the node you want to turn up on the network map.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Network tabs.

Step 3 Complete the following information in the fields listed:

•IP Address—Type the IP address assigned to the ONS 15454 SDH node.

•Suppress CTC IP Display—Select this check box if you want to prevent the node IP address from being displayed in CTC to users with Provisioner, Maintenance, or Retrieve security levels. (The IP address suppression is not applied to users with Superuser security level.)

•LCD IP Display—Choose one of the following:

–Allow Configuration—(default) Displays the node IP on the front panel LCD and allows it to be changed using the ONS 15454 SDH LCD. This option enables the “DLP-D64 Set the IP Address, Default Router, and Network Mask Using the LCD” task on page 4-13(default).

–Display Only—Displays the node IP address on the front panel LCD but does not allow it to be changed.

–Suppress Display—Suppresses the node IP address display on the front panel LCD.

•Default Router—If the ONS 15454 SDH must communicate with a device on a network that the ONS 15454 SDH is not directly connected to, the ONS 15454 SDH can forward the packets to the default router. Type the IP address of the router in this field.

Note This field is ignored if the node is not connected to a LAN, or if you enable any of the gateway settings to implement the ONS 15454 SDH proxy server feature.

•Forward DHCP Request To— Select this check box to enable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Also, enter the DHCP server IP address in the Request To field. The box is unchecked by default. If you will enable any of the gateway settings to implement the ONS 15454 SDH proxy server features, leave this field blank.

Note If you enable DHCP, computers connected to an ONS 15454 SDH node can obtain temporary IP addresses from an external DHCP server. The ONS 15454 SDH only forwards DHCP requests; it does not act as a DHCP server.
