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 and subnet mask 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 Model 7986 Standalone Termination Unit is assigned an IP address and subnet through the Peer IP address of the MHDSL Network interface menu. Once the address is assigned, you can use the Model 7986 Standalone Termination Unit's ATI to assign:
HAn IP address for each NMS to act as a trap manager. See
Table
HAn IP 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.
HAny legal host address is allowed for a given subnet. The address choice within the subnet is arbitrary.
HA single route to a subnet is all that is needed to reach every device on a subnet.
