About This Guide
Document Purpose and Intended Audience
This guide describes how to configure and operate the software component of the Hotwire Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) system. It is intended for administrators and operators who maintain the networks that support Hotwire operation.
A basic understanding of internetworking protocols and their features is assumed. Specifically, you should have familiarity with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Network Management Systems (NMSs), and the following internetworking concepts:
HTCP/IP applications
HIP and subnet addressing
HIP forwarding (also referred to as IP routing)
HBridging
It is also assumed that you have already installed either the Hotwire 8600, 8800, or 8810 DSLAM. If you have not done so already, refer to the appropriate Hotwire DSLAM Installation Guide for installation instructions.
NOTE:
It is highly recommended that you read the Hotwire DSLAM for 8310 MVL and 8510 RADSL Cards Network Configuration Guide before you begin to use this guide and the Hotwire software. The Hotwire DSLAM 8310 MVL and 8510 RADSL Cards Network Configuration Guide provides introductory information about the Hotwire DSLAM network models and theories.
