MPR IP Addressing 1
The MPR NE is identified by its Local IP Address.
All point-to-point interfaces (TMN RF in 1.x) are unnumbered and borrow the
IP address from the Local IP Address.
The MPR has two Ethernet interfaces which can be used to access locally the
NE. Each interface has its own IP address which must belong to different
subnet than the other.

The CT access the NE using the Local IP Address, the SNMP Trap are sent by
NE using the Local IP Address as source IP address.
It is possible to configure the IP address of one of the two Local Ethernet
interfaces with the same value used for Local IP Address.

In the following scenario, the CT, in order to reach the local and remote NEs
by their Local IP Address, must be configured with a Default Gateway or
static route having the Local Ethernet IP Address as gateway.
At the same time the CT must be reachable by the remote NE using a static
route or enabling OSPF on local and remote NE.

In order to reach the remote NE, its Local IP Address must belong to a
different subnet. A Default Gateway or static route having the Local

The OSPF routing protocol can be activated on each point-to-point interface
and on each Local Ethernet interface.
The MPR NE can act as ABR (Area Border Router) managing a maximum of 4
areas (Backbone + 3 areas). It is possible to assign different OSPF areas to
each point-to-point interface.
An OSPF area can be configured as Stub Area. Configuring a Stub Area
reduces the topological database size and reduces the memory requirements
for NE inside that area for NEs that are not ABR.
The OSPF Area Identifier can take a form similar to an IP address A.B.C.D
The Area 0 or Backbone has Area ID 0.0.0.0
The Area ID hasnt any correlation with the IP address of the interface that
belongs to that area.

Enabling OSPF, static routing information configured on one NE are
automatically redistributed as OSPF external routes inside the OSPF areas
active on this NE.
Static routing are not redistributed inside the OSPF areas configured as Stub
Area.
If OSPF is enabled on NEs, static routes, if needed, have to be added only on
the NE reached by Ethernet (called Gateway NE).
In case of CT not directly connected to Gateway NE, the Ethernet interface
of this NE must be reachable in order to make the software download
working.
