Chapter 4 Turn Up Node

DLP-D67 Provision the IIOP Listener Port on the ONS 15454 SDH

Step 3 If the CTC computer resides behind a firewall, complete the “DLP-D68 Provision the IIOP Listener Port on the CTC Computer” task on page 4-22 .

Figure 4-6shows a CTC computer and ONS 15454 SDH behind firewalls. For the computer to access the ONS 15454 SDH, you must provision the IIOP port on the CTC computer and on the

ONS 15454 SDH. Each firewall can use a different IIOP port.

DLP-D67 Provision the IIOP Listener Port on the ONS 15454 SDH

Purpose

This task sets the IIOP listener port on the ONS 15454 SDH, which enables

 

you to access ONS 15454 SDH nodes that reside behind a firewall.

Tools/Equipment

IIOP listener port number provided by your LAN or firewall administrator

Note If the Enable Proxy Server on port 1080 check box is checked, CTC will use port 1080 and ignore the configured IIOP port setting. If Enable Proxy Server is subsequently unchecked, the configured IIOP listener port will be used.

Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Network > General tabs.

Step 2 In the TCC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port area, choose a listener port option:

•Default - TCC Fixed—Uses Port 57790 to connect to ONS 15454 SDH nodes on the same side of the firewall or if no firewall is used (default). This option can be used for access through a firewall if Port 57790 is open.

•Standard Constant—Uses Port 683, the CORBA default port number.

•Other Constant—If Port 683 is not used, type the IIOP port specified by your firewall administrator. The port cannot use any of the ports shown in Table 4-2.
