Scenario 5
Figure E-5 illustrates multiple COM ports on the same
carrier connected to different NMSs. This might be used
in service-provider applications, where some of the
carrier’s circuit cards (and their remotes) are managed by
one NMS and other cards are managed by a different
NMS. In this example, each card and remote is on a
separate subnet. Also, note that each LAN Adapter
connection is on a different subnet. The subnet mask is
FF.FF.FF.00. The NMS hosts would only need routes
added for the subnets that they are to manage.
