5.10.1 Rules of thumb and remarks concerning management
The following lists some rules of thumb concerning the management of OneAccess devices in a network:
• Make sure there is only one path towards the management system. Else you might get unexpected
results (e.g. devices that do not answer to polling, answer of several devices at once when polling
one device, etc.).
• Once your network starts to become complex on management level (i.e. more than just in-line connections
as depicted in Relative addressing on page 101), you are advised to use absolute addressing
instead of relative addressing (refer to Absolute addressing on page 101).
In practice, it is best to use absolute addressing when you configure one of the attributes listed below
as follows:
- ctrlPortProtocol attribute to management,
- g703/saBits to anything else than transparent.
• Changing the ctrlPortProtocol attribute causes the Crocus SHDSL G703 to reboot.
• When sending management information to the three management interfaces (the line, the G703 interface
using SA bits, and the CTRL port), a problem may occur. Due to insufficient processing power
of the Crocus SHDSL G703, it could occur that a device connected to the Crocus SHDSL G703 cannot
be reached anymore (on management level).
Conclusion is that sending management information to the three management interfaces simultaneously
is not possible, due to lack of processing power of the Crocus SHDSL G703.
