Description
|
IP Address
|
The IP address assigned to the node.
|
Net/Subnet Mask Length
|
Subnet mask length (decimal number representing the subnet mask length in bits). The subnet mask length should be the same for all ONS nodes in the same subnet.
|
MAC Address
|
(Display only) The ONS node IEEE 802 MAC address.
|
Default Router
|
The IP address of the router to which the ONS node will forward packets if it must communicate with a device on a network that it is not connected to. This field is ignored if the node is not connected to a LAN, or if you enable any of the Gateway Settings to implement the ONS node proxy server feature.
|
LCD IP Setting
|
(ONS 15454 only) Provisions the display of the node IP address on the front panel LCD and whether or not the IP address can be changed. Three choices are available:
Allow Configuration: Displays the node IP address on the LCD and allows
users to change the IP settings using the LCD.
Display Only: Displays the node IP address on the LCD but does not allow
users to change the IP address using the LCD.
Suppress Display: Suppresses the node IP address display on the LCD.
|
Suppress CTC IP Display
|
If checked, prevents the node IP address from appearing in CTC to users with Provisioner, Maintenance, or Retrieve security levels. (The IP address suppression is not applied to users with the Superuser security level.)
|
Forward DHCP Request To
|
If checked, enables DHCP. The DHCP server IP address is entered in the Request To field. If you are enabling any of the gateway settings to implement the ONS node proxy server feature, leave this field blank. If you enable DHCP, computers connected to an ONS node can obtain temporary IP addresses from an external DHCP server. The ONS node only forwards DHCP requests; it does not act as a DHCP server.
|
TCC/TSC/XTC/ CTX CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port
|
The ONS node Internet Inter-Orb Protocol (IIOP) listener port that communicate with the ONS node through firewalls. Three choices are available:
Default: Uses Port 57790 to connect to the ONS node. This setting is used if
the CTC is on the same side of the firewall or if no firewall is used (default).
This option can be used for access through a firewall if Port 57790 is open.
Standard Constant: Uses Port 683, the CORBA default port number.
Other Constant: If Port 683 is not used, the IIOP port specified by the
firewall administrator.
|
Gateway Settings
|
If Enable Proxy Server on Port is checked, enables the ONS node proxy server on Port 1080. The proxy server settings allow the ONS nodes to operate in an environment where visibility and accessibility between ONS nodes and CTC computers must be restricted; for example, to allow field technicians and network operating center (NOC) personnel to access the same ONS nodes while preventing the field technicians from accessing the NOC LAN. If Enable Proxy Server on Port is checked, the following Gateway Settings are available:
Note The ONS 15600 External Network Element option behaves the same as
the Gateway Network Element option.
