IP Addressing Scheme Examples
Management of IP addressing is based upon individual IP addresses assigned to
each interface. The IP interfaces for the unit are the:
Ethernet port: See Table A-4, Ethernet Port Options.
IMC: Set the In-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) to 1600, 4000, or
8000 bps; see Table A-2, Network Interface Options.
NOTE:
Do not assign IP addresses without the assistance of the parties who
determine the IP addressing scheme used for your organization.
The following illustrations and examples apply to IP management traffic only.
The subnet mask for each device in these examples is 255.255.255.000.

IMC Connection – Same Subnet

In this example, the DSU with the IMC IP address of 135.18.2.1 is connected to:
The NMS at the central site, via the 10BaseT port
A remote DSU through the proprietary IMC
The IMC is enabled (the rate is set to 1600, 4000, or 8000). See Table A-2,
Network Interface Options.
The Default Gateway Address is 000.000.000.000. See Table A-4, Ethernet Port
Options.
NOTE:
Interconnected DSUs will automatically pass routing information between
each other using a proprietary protocol. However, a static route to
subnet 135.18.2.0 must be set in the routing table of the NMS Host.
