The node ID, NE ID and IP address of the NE are independent from each other. In an ASON network, each ASON NE is assigned with a unique node ID within a network. The node ID must be specified during the network planning.
Background Information
The node ID must meet the following requirements:
NOTICE:
- Node IDs cannot be duplicate in the same ASON domain.
- The node ID of an NE cannot be in the same network segment as the IP address of the NE.
- The node ID, NE ID and IP address of the NE are independent from each other.
- The format of a node ID is the same as that of an IP address. The node ID cannot be 0.0.0.0, 1.2.3.4 or 255.255.255.255. For details on the range of the node ID, refer to Planning the Node ID.
- Node IDs must be set before the ASON feature is enabled. After the node ID is set, a warm reset is performed on the NE.
NOTICE: When a delivered network is running, do not change the node ID. To change the node ID, contact Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Procedure
- In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose from the Function Tree. Click the Node ID Management tab.
- Click Query to view the current node ID of the NE.
- Double-click the Node ID field to enter a node ID for the NE.
- Click Apply. After you confirm the operation twice, a prompt is displayed indicating that the operation was successful.
