Service Planning

The service planning information contains all the parameters required for configuring the NE data.

The third-party equipment does not support OSPF but supports the connection to the NMS through the Ethernet network management port. Therefore, the OptiX equipment can transparently transmit network management messages between the third-party equipment and the third-party NMS by using the IP over DCN solution.
Select NE1 (the NE closest to the NMS) as the gateway NE and to connect the NE to the external DCN.
The OptiX NMS and NE1 are located in the same place, whereas the third-party NMS is located in another place. Therefore, you need to construct the external DCN between the third-party NMS and NE1 through a router or protocol converter.
NE3 and NE4 use part of the Ethernet bandwidth over FE/GE ports as the DCN channel. The other NEs use the default DCCs to communicate with each other.

Allocate IDs and IP addresses for all the NEs based on network conditions. Allocate the NE IP addresses properly so that:

The IP address of NE1 (connected to the external DCN) meets the requirements of the external DCN.
The IP addresses of the NEs that are connected through Ethernet network management ports are on the same network segment

Figure 1 Allocation of IDs/IP addresses for all NEs

Plan the following route information between the OptiX NEs:
- On NE1, configure a static route to the third-party NMS whose IP address is 11.0.0.100. The gateway uses the router interface address, 10.0.0.200.
- On NE1, enable the OSPF route flooding function for the static routes.
- On NE3 and NE4, enable the inband DCN function for Ethernet ports.
- On NE6, configure a static route to the third-party gateway NE NE7. The IP address of NE7 is 130.9.0.7. Enable the route flooding function for the static route.
NOTE:
In this example, NE7 (gateway NE of the third-party equipment) is on a different network segment from all OptiX NEs except for NE6. Therefore, a static route to NE7 does not need to be configured on NE6. If NE7 is on the same network segment as all OptiX NEs except for NE6, a static route must be configured on NE6.
In addition, plan the following routes:
- On the gateway NE of the third-party equipment, configure a static route to the third-party NMS whose IP address is 11.0.0.100. The gateway uses the IP address of NE6, 130.9.0.6.
- On the third-party NMS, configure a static route to the gateway NE of the third-party equipment whose IP address is 130.9.0.7. The gateway uses the IP address of the router interface, 11.0.0.200. Alternatively, you can set the IP address 11.0.0.200 to be the default gateway of the third-party NMS.
- On the router, configure the routes according to the gateway NE of the third-party equipment whose IP address is 130.9.0.7.
