HiProvision - CSM Connection Scenarios 

There are multiple connection scenarios possible between the HiProvision PC and the CSM (or 
Dragon PTN network).  

 

Direct connection; 

 

Connection via switch, router; 

 

Connection with CSM Redundancy; 

 

Connection with HiProvision Redundancy; 

 

Connection with Entry Point Redundancy. 

Depending  on  the  connection  scenario,  the  configuration  differs  and  IP addresses must  be 
configured in different places. All these connection scenarios are described in detail in Ref. 
[2Mgt] in Table 2. In this manual, verify following chapters: 

 

HiProvision: Discover and Approve the Dragon PTN Network Topology (DCN); 

 

HiProvision Connectivity Redundancy: Use Cases. 

 

c.

 

IP Address 

The  IP  address  of  this  management  port    (=  CSM  Front  IP  Address)  can  be  changed  via 
HiProvision, see Ref. [2Mgt] in Table 2. How to set up the IP address on the HiProvision PC, 
see also Ref. [2Mgt]. 

CAUTION: When changing IP addresses or IP ranges: 
- Make sure that the Device IP Range of your network does not conflict with the CSM   
  Front IP Addresses of your entry points for this network. All these IP addresses and     
  ranges can be verified in the Entry Point(s) in the Discovery Tile in HiProvision. 
- Make sure that the CSM Front IP address of each node only belongs to its own unique  
  subnet. Therefor each node must be configured in a different subnet. 
- Redundant CSMs can be configured in the same subnet. If they are configured in a  
  different subnet, make sure each subnet is unique network wide. 

2.2

 

Functional Operation 

2.2.1

 

Exchange Data with the Outside World 

The node exchanges services data (Ethernet, MPLS-

TP, E1/T1, SHDSL, C37.94, Serial data…) 

with the outside world via the IFMs that are plugged into the Dragon PTN node. This means 
that a Dragon PTN node communicates with other Dragon PTN nodes via its IFMs, not via the 
CSM.  The  only  data  to  enter/leave  the  front  panel  of  the  CSM  is  the  management  data 
exchanged with HiProvision. 

2.2.2

 

I/O with NSM, PSUs, IFMs and Dragon PTN Network 

The active CSM processes status & control data between the NSM, PSUs, IFMs, backup CSM 
and the Dragon PTN network via the node's backplane. The active CSM communicates this and 
its own status & control data to HiProvision. 

Furthermore,  the  active  CSM  controls  the  flow  of  user  data  by  switching  MPLS-TP  packets 
between the Dragon PTN network and the IFMs in its node. The IFMs are connected to the 
active  CSM  in  a  star  configuration  resulting  in  an  individual  data  bus  for  each  IFM.  Data 
transfer is full duplex.  See also §2.2.3.
