Selecting an IP Addressing Scheme

The NTU's network interface IP address is assigned through the peer IP address of the LTU's Network Interface menu. The NTU obtains the LTU's IP address when the PPP link is established over the EOC. The LTU IP address and subnet mask are configured from the Communication Protocol Options menu.

The 7984 Standalone Termination Unit is assigned an IP address through the Peer IP address of the M/HDSL Network interface menu. The 7984 Standalone Termination Unit can also be assigned an IP address and subnet mask for the COM port. Once an address is assigned, you can manage the 7984 Standalone Termination Unit's ATI to assign an:

HIP address for each NMS to act as a trap manager. See Table A-9,SNMP Traps Options, in Appendix A, Configuration Option Tables.

HIP address for the TFTP server you wish to use to upload and download configurations. See Configuration Loader in Chapter 3, Initial Setup and Configuration.

Review the following information in preparation for selecting an IP addressing scheme.
