NTP-D169 Set Up CTC Network Access

NTP-D169 Set Up CTC Network Access

Purpose

This procedure provisions network access for a node, including its subnet

 

mask, default router, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

 

server, IIOP (Internet Inter-Orb Protocol) listener port, proxy server

 

settings, static routes, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, and

 

Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

Tools/Equipment

None

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 3-24 . If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Complete the “DLP-D249 Provision IP Settings” task on page 4-10to provision the ONS 15454 SDH IP address, subnet mask, default router, DHCP, IIOP listener port, and proxy server settings.

Tip If you cannot log into the node, you might be able to change its IP address, default router, and network mask by using the LCD on the ONS 15454 SDH front panel. See the “DLP-D64 Set the IP Address, Default Router, and Network Mask Using the LCD” task on page 4-13for instructions. However, you cannot use the LCD to provision any other network settings.

Step 3 If static routes are needed, complete the “DLP-D65 Create a Static Route” task on page 4-15 . Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for further information about static routes.

Step 4 If the ONS 15454 SDH is connected to a LAN or WAN that uses OSPF, complete the “DLP-D250 Set Up or Change Open Shortest Path First Protocol” task on page 4-16 .

Step 5 If the ONS 15454 SDH is connected to a LAN or WAN that uses RIP, complete the “DLP-D251 Set Up or Change Routing Information Protocol” task on page 4-18 .

Stop. You have completed this procedure.
