Procedure 14-21.6: Configure in-band connectivity when ethertype on VLNC40/VLNC42 is set to vMAN
Overview
Use this procedure as an example for configuring for in-band connectivity when ethertype on the VLNC40/VLNC42 is set to vMAN. In-band connectivity allows you to access the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 from a local or remote PC using the IP address information assigned to the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64. The VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 must be connected to the user's network. Using the network configuration in this example, inband management of all circuit packs can be performed across a Q-in-Q/Q-in-vMAN domain either locally from a OMS network or remotely from a Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 installation.
Additional provisioning is needed for creation and maintenance of pseudo-wire services on VLNC60/VLNC64. These are related to PSN tunnels, Pseudo-wires, BFD, routing (static routes/arp), etc. Also in order to use the backplane ports between VLNC40/VLNC42 and VLNC60/VLNC64 in a TSS-5 shelf, additional provisioning (backplane port) is required to enable the backplane port. By default, the backplane port is disabled. LAN cables are required between some ports.
Refer to Figure 14-13, Inband management with Q-in-Q setup in provisioning the parameters in this example.
In this example, VLAN id of 800 is used for handling the management traffic from/to a OAM network and a VLAN id of 1 is used for handling pseudo-wire data traffic and associated control/management traffic (arp/BFD packets/etc).
Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide, for help on using the CLI commands.
Steps
1 |
At TSS-5 A, login to the VLNC40/VLNC42 circuit pack (OAM Network Gateway Switch) being provisioned. From the User EXEC prompt [(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) >, enter enable to enter the user privilege mode. The same password is required as for login (default is just press Enter). Result: The user privilege prompt (ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) # displays. |
2 |
Use the show serviceport command to display default serviceport configuration settings. |
3 |
If required, use the serviceport ip command to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (if required) being used for the serviceport. The IP Address and gateway must be on the same subnet. Gateway is an optional parameter. Use the default settings for the VLNC40/VLNC42: 169.254.1.1; 255.255.0.0; 0.0.0.0. Example: (ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) # serviceport ip <ipaddress> <netmask> [<gateway>]. The network port and serviceport IP address information need to be in different IP subnets. The network port and serviceport IP address information must be in different IP subnets. Only one gateway may be defined for remote access, either on the network port or the serviceport. |
4 |
Use the show network command to display default network configuration settings. |
5 |
If required, use the network protocol {none | bootp | dhcp} command to specify none for the network configuration protocol to be used. Example: network protocol none. |
6 |
Use the network parms command to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (if required) being used for the network ports. The IP Address and gateway must be on the same subnet. Gateway is an optional parameter. Use network parms parameters: 152.148.119.183; 255.255.254.0; 152.148.118.1. Example: (ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) # network parms 152.148.119.183 255.255.254.0 152.148.118.1. The network port and serviceport IP address information need to be in different IP subnets. The network port and serviceport IP address information must be in different IP subnets. Only one gateway may be defined for remote access, either on the network port or the serviceport. If this command fails, you may get an error message if the serviceport IP address has already been assigned and this IP address for the network ports is in the same subnet. You will have to reprovision one of the IP addresses. |
7 |
Use the network mgmt_vlan <vlanid> command to set the Management VLAN ID to 800 in this example. Example: (ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) # network mgmt_vlan 800. |
8 |
Enter vlan database command to enter the VLAN Config mode. |
9 |
Enter vlan 800 command to create a new VLAN and assign an ID. Enter exit to return to user privilege mode. |
10 |
Enter configure to enter the Global Config mode. |
11 |
Enter interface <interface-number>, where interface-number is either a-9, a-10, or a-11 (TSS-5 A). |
12 |
Enter the following commands, one at a time, to provision the parameters for ports a-9, a-10, a-11:
Repeat this step for interfaces a-9, a-10, and a-11. |
13 |
Enter interface <interface-number>, where interface-number is d2-1.. |
14 |
Enter the following commands, one at a time, to provision the parameters for d2-1:
|
15 |
Enter interface <interface-number>, where interface-number is d2-4.. |
16 |
Enter the following commands, one at a time, to provision the parameters for d2-4: |
17 |
If required, save the configuration changes using the write memory command. At the user privilege prompt, enter write memory. |
18 |
Login to the VLNC64 at TSS-5 A. From the User EXEC prompt [(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) >, enter enable to enter the user privilege mode. |
19 |
Use the serviceport ip command to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (if required) being used for the serviceport. Use these settings for this VLNC64: 152.148.119.63; 255.255.254.0; 152.148.118.1. |
20 |
Use the network parms command to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address being used for the network ports. Use network parms parameters: 185.13.75.47; 255.255.0.0; 0.0.0.0. |
21 |
At TSS-5 B, login to the VLNC40/VLNC42 circuit pack being provisioned. From the User EXEC prompt [(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) >, enter enable to enter the user privilege mode. The same password is required as for login (default is just press Enter). Result: The user privilege prompt (ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) # displays. |
22 |
Repeat Step 2 thru Step 17 to provision the same parameters on the VLNC40/VLNC42 in TSS-5 B. The only exceptions are: (1) the network parms IP address parameter for this VLNC40/VLNC42 is 152.148.119.64. The netmask and gateway address are the same as the VLNC40/VLNC42 in TSS-5 A; (2) There is no customer port a-11. |
23 |
Login to the VLNC60 at TSS-5 B. From the User EXEC prompt [(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) >, enter enable to enter the user privilege mode. |
24 |
Use the serviceport ip command to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address being used for the serviceport. Use these settings for this VLNC60: 152.148.119.117; 255.255.254.0; 152.148.118.1. |
25 |
Use the network parms command to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address being used for the network ports. Use network parms parameters: 185.13.75.44; 255.255.0.0; 0.0.0.0. End of steps |
