Network management
IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
The PTP 700 ODU contains an embedded management agent with IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
Network management communication is exclusively based on IP and associated higher layer
transport and application protocols. The default IPv4 address of the management agent is
169.254.1.1. There is no default IPv6 address. The PTP 700 does not require use of
supplementary serial interfaces.
MAC address
The management agent end-station MAC address is recorded on the enclosure and is
displayed on the Status web page. The MAC address is not configurable by the user.
VLAN membership
The management agent can be configured to transmit and receive frames of one of the
following types: untagged, priority-tagged, C-tagged (IEEE 802.1Q) or S-tagged (IEEE 802.1ad).
C-tagged and S-tagged frames must be single tagged. The VLAN ID can be 0 (priority tagged)
or in the range 1 to 4094.
Ethernet and DSCP priority
The management agent transmits IPv4 and IPv6 management packets with a configurable
DSCP value in the range 0 to 63. If the management agent is configured to operate in a
management VLAN, the Ethernet frames will be transmitted with a configurable Ethernet
priority in the range 0 to 7. The same DSCP and Ethernet priorities are assigned to all
management packets generated by the agent. Management frames are multiplexed with
customer data frames of the same priority for transmission at the wireless port.
Access to the management agent
The management agent can be reached from any Ethernet port at the local ODU that is
allocated to the Management Service or the Local Management Service.
If the wireless link is established, the management agent can also be reached from the remote
ODU via an Ethernet port that is allocated to the Management Service.
Management frames are processed by the management agent if (a) the destination MAC
address in the frame matches the ODU MAC address, and (b) the VLAN ID in the frame
matches the VLAN configuration of the management agent.
If Local Packet Filtering is enabled, unicast frames forwarded to the management agent are
filtered, that is, not forwarded in the customer data network or the management network.
MAC address and IP address of the management agent
The MAC address and IP address used by the management agent will be the same at each port
that is allocated the Management Service or Local Management Service. The management
agent does not provide the function of a dual-homed or multi-homed host. Network designers
should take care to ensure that the ODU will not be connected to more than one IP network.
