Management Configuration IP/LAN Connectivity on Indirectly Connected NE3-12 User Manual ML700IP/LAN Connectivity on IndirectlyConnected NEAn indirect session can be opened for MLs configured as follows: CO and CPE are connected by copper pairs, and configured appropriately: one NE asSTU-C NE (HSL configured in –O mode), other NE as STU-R NE (HSL configured in –R mode). The peer NE (either CO or CPE) has "Access from Peer" Enabled (factory setup). Whenopening a local (craft connection) MetaASSIST View session to an ML700 CPE in a P2Ptopology, the CO NE linked via HSL is displayed as well. L2 (LAN) and L3 (IP) setting on both ML NE (CO and CPE) are configured correctly.For security reasons, remote (telnet) access to each ML NE can be secured enabling SSH,ACL features on selected NE or by separating IP/LAN network, differently configured onCO and CPE NE.The IP/LAN on an indirectly connected (via HSL) NE (usually CPE) is configured via the"NE linked via HSL” pane. By default, the system applies all the connectivity parameters(except for the IP Address which should be unique) of the directly connected NE (usually theCO), to the indirectly connected NE (usually the CPE).If different IP/LAN parameters are required on the CPE NE, these can be individuallymodified for each NE. Modifiable parameters include IP gateway address, IP subnet mask,Bridge Mode, Management VID and VLAN membership type.NOTE: By default, the IP address of each ML NE is set to IP 0.0.0.0. It is required to modify thisaddress to a valid and unique IP address. To configure LAN/IP on an indirectly connected ML NE1. Open a session to the CO ML.2. In the Network Element tree, expand NEs Linked via HSL. The NEs Linked via HSLpane opens.
