Task 1: Site Preparation
Before installing and configuring a Remote Access Concentrator you need to have the following information:
•Line provisioning
•IP addresses
•Boot sequence
•Software image location
Order Line Provisioning
The lines are ordered through the telco before the RAC is installed. Typically this is done after the sales order is placed. The supported switch types and switch parameters are described in Provisioning WAN Lines for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches. You should have the switch type and parameter values before continuing with the installation.
IP Addresses
You must be prepared to enter the following addresses during the configuration procedure:
•Internet address
•Subnet mask
•Broadcast address
•Preferred load host
•Preferred dump host
•Load/Dump gateway address
Note: Load/Dump gateway is used as a low priority default route after the RAC boots.
