3.3 Setting Up Network Information
Before you connect a node to other nodes or to a LAN, you must change the default IP address that is
shipped with each ONS 15454 SDH (192.168.1.1). IP addresses are unique identifiers for
devices—called hosts—that connect to TCP/IP networks. Every IP address includes a network number,
which is assigned to an organization, and a host (device) number, which the organization’s LAN
administrator assigns to an individual network device.
Subnetting enables LAN administrators to create subnetworks that are transparent to the Internet. Within
networks, ONS 15454 SDHs often exist as subnetworks, which are created by adding a subnet mask to
the ONS 15454 SDH IP address.
Procedure: Set Up Network Information
Step 1 Log into CTC or navigate to the node view. Click the Provisioning > Network tabs (Figure 3-2).
Purpose Use this procedure to start provisioning a network. Additional ONS 15454
SDH networking information and procedures, including IP addressing
examples, static route scenarios and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
protocol options are provided in Chapter 3, “IP Networking.”
Prerequisite Procedures
• The IP address and subnet mask to assign to the node
