DSCP Network Between a Service Processor and a Domain

The Domain to Service Processor Communications Protocol (DSCP) service provides a secure TCP/IP- and PPP-based communication link between the Service Processor and each domain. Without this link, the Service Processor cannot communicate with the domains.

The Service Processor requires one IP address dedicated to the DSCP service on its side of the link, and one IP address on each domain’s side of the link. The DSCP service is a point-to-point link between the Service Processor and each domain. FIGURE 3-1illustrates this relationship.

DSCP service is not configured by default. You configure and use the service by specifying IP addresses for the Service Processor and the domains. The IP addresses should be nonroutable addresses on the network.

The setdscp command provides an interactive mode that displays a prompt for each DSCP setting you can configure:

■The network address to be used by the DSCP network for IP addresses

■The netmask for the DSCP network

■The Service Processor IP address

■An IP address for each domain
