4.2.4.2.3 Ethernet Bridge Mode Configuration via Optional Network
Processor (NP) Interface
Ethernet Bridge Mode redundancy, when using SLM‐5650/5650A modems equipped with the
optional Network Processor (NP) Interface, is provided by a single IP address scheme.
Follow these steps to verify Single IP Address Mode on the Online Modem:
Step Task
1
From the SLM-5650A front panel, navigate to Config: Remote Æ EthernetConfig Æ
Option Card Addr ÆNetwork Proc.
2 Verify that the Mode appears as Single.
Follow these steps to verify Single IP Address Mode on the Offline Modem:
Step Task
1
From the SLM-5650A front panel, navigate to Config: Remote Æ EthernetConfig Æ
Option Card Addr ÆNetwork Proc.
2 Set the Traffic IP Address of the Online Modem only.
3 Verify that the Traffic IP Address also appears on the Offline Modem.
In Ethernet Bridge Mode, the CRS‐311 will keep the Online Modem’s Ethernet Ports 2‐4 turned
on. The CRS‐311 will keep the Offline Modem’s Ethernet Ports 2‐4 turned off. The traffic IP
address is only accessible on the Online Modem; there is NO access to the Offline Modem.
Furthermore, in Ethernet Bridge Mode, the parameter backup mechanism is unsupported;
therefore, you must make sure that all parameters match in the Online and Offline modems.
See the SLM‐5650 or the SLM‐5650A Installation and Operation Manual for detailed
configuration information.
4.2.4.2.4 Ethernet Bridge Mode Configuration via Optional GbE Interface
Ethernet Bridge Mode redundancy, when using SLM‐5650/5650 modems equipped with the
optional 10/100/1000 Base‐T (GbE) Interface, is provided by a Single IP Address scheme.
To configure the SLM‐5650/5650A for Ethernet Bridge Mode 1:1 redundancy, for each modem
enter a unique IP Address for the optional 10/100/1000 Base‐T (GbE) Interface Module that is
on the same subnet:
