Transmit IP trunk card configuration data from TM 3.1 to the IP trunk cards

261

"yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy" is the ELAN network interface gateway (router)
IP address on the ELAN subnet. If the TM 3.1 PC is connected
locally to the LAN and there is no ELAN gateway, then the
gateway IP address is "0.0.0.0".

"zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz" is the subnet mask for the ELAN network
interface IP address of Leader 0 on the ELAN subnet.

All ITG shell commands are case-sensitive. A space separates the
command from the first parameter. The three parameters must each
be enclosed in quotation marks and there must be a comma and no
spaces separating the three parameters.

The ELAN gateway (router) IP address is used on reboot to create
the IP route table default network route only if (1) there is no active
leader that has this card’s ELAN network interface MAC address in
its node properties file and
(2) this card’s node properties file is empty (size 0 Kb).

IP addresses and subnet masks must be entered in dotted decimal
format.

If the network administrator has provided the subnet mask in CIDR
format, convert it to dotted decimal format before entering it. For
example: 10.1.1.1/20 must be converted to IP address 10.1.1.1 with
subnet mask 255.255.240.0. To convert subnet mask from CIDR
format to dotted decimal format refer to

Appendix "Subnet mask

conversion from CIDR to dotted decimal format" (page 455)

Press the Reset button on the faceplate to reboot the Leader 0 IP
trunk card.

After the reboot is completed, the Leader 0 card is in a state of
"backup leader". The faceplate display shows "BLDR." It cannot
yet be in a state of "active leader", until the node properties have
been successfully transmitted from TM 3.1 to the Leader 0 card.
