Changing IP Addresses of OMU

Ethernet Adapters and Their Subnet

Masks
This section describes how to change IP addresses and subnet masks of the
OMU Ethernet adapters using omutool.

Context

If the OMU is in active/standby mode, change the IP addresses and subnet

masks of the Ethernet adapters on both the active and standby OMUs. You
are advised to first change the IP addresses and subnet masks of the
Ethernet adapters for the standby OMU before changing those for the active
OMU.

NOTE:

This task describes how to change all the IP addresses and subnet masks
for the OMU. You can perform required steps to fit onsite needs.

 Single-OMU mode: Stop the omud before the change and start the omud
after the change.
 Dual-OMU mode: Stop the standby omud and then the active omud before
the change. Start the active omud and then the standby omud after
the change.

For details about the Ethernet adapter binding relationship, see OMU
Ethernet Adapter Configuration.

Procedure

1. Log in to the OMU by referring to Logging In to the OMU.

2. Choose Start > Run. Then type the cmd command and press Enter to
type the command mode of the OMU..
3. Type the net stop omud command and press Enter to stop the omud..
4. Enter the cd /d d:\mbsc\bam\version_a\bin\bam command and press
Enter to navigate to the directory where the program of the omutool
is saved.
5. The omutool dispipinfo command is used to query the IP address and
subnet mask of the OMU.
 For example, type the following command and press Enter to query
the IP address and subnet mask of the OMU:

omutool dispipinfo

6. The omutool innercard IP address command is used to change the fixed

internal IP address.

For example, type the following command and press Enter to change
the fixed internal IP address:

omutool innercard 80.168.3.60

7. The omutool innervip IP address is used to change the virtual

internal IP address.

For example, type the following command and press Enter to change
the virtual internal IP address:

omutool innervip 80.168.3.40

NOTE:

o The fixed and virtual internal IP addresses must be in the

same network segment. If the network segment of the fixed
internal IP address is changed to be different from that of
the virtual internal IP address, you are prompted to change
the virtual internal IP address. If the network segment of
the internal IP address is changed to be different from that
of the fixed internal IP address, you are prompted to change
the fixed internal IP address.
o When you change the fixed and virtual internal IP addresses,
the corresponding subnet masks are created automatically.
o If you change the fixed and virtual internal IP addresses for
the first time, perform the following additional steps:
a. Run the SET SUBNET command to set the BSC6900 subnet
number so that it is consistent with the number of the
network segments on which the fixed internal IP address
and virtual internal IP address are located.
b. Remove the SCUa board and reinstall it in the MPS. Then,
reset the MPS to validate the new fixed and virtual
internal IP addresses.
o After these two steps are performed, the OMU can communicate
with the BSC6900 host boards normally.
8. The omutool extercard IP address subnet mask (gateway IP address)
command is used to change the fixed external IP address and subnet
mask.

For example, type the following command and press Enter to change
the fixed external IP address and subnet mask:

omutool extercard 10.161.10.100 255.255.255.0

CAUTION:

Before changing the fixed external IP address, virtual external IP

address, and external gateway IP address, log in to the OMU using
the commissioning IP address.

9. The ./omutool extervip IP address subnet mask (gateway IP address)

command is used to change the virtual external IP address and subnet
mask.

For example, type the following command and press Enter to change
the virtual external IP address and subnet mask:

omutool extervip 10.161.10.102 255.255.255.0

NOTE:

o After the virtual external IP address and mask are changed,

run the RMV EMSIP command and then the ADD EMSIP command to
update the virtual external IP address and mask that are
recorded in the OMU database.
o The fixed and virtual internal IP addresses must be in the
same network segment. If the network segment of the fixed
external IP address is changed to be different from that of
the virtual internal IP address, you are prompted to change
the virtual external IP address. If the network segment of
the virtual external IP address is changed to be different
from that of the fixed external IP address, you are prompted
to change the fixed external IP address.
o After the fixed external IP address, virtual external IP
address, and gateway IP address are changed, the
communication between the OMU and peripheral equipment is
interrupted. You need to use the new fixed or virtual external
IP address to reconnect the OMU and peripheral equipment.
10.The omutool gateway gateway IP address command is used to change
the gateway IP address.

For example, type the following command and press Enter to change
the gateway IP address:

omutool gateway 10.161.10.1

NOTE:

You can change the fixed or virtual external IP address

simultaneously with changing the gateway IP address. The following
are the related commands:

o omutool extercard IP address Subnet mask Gateway IP address

for changing the fixed external IP address and gateway IP
address simultaneously
o omutool extervip IP address Subnet mask Gateway IP address
for changing the virtual external IP address and gateway IP
address simultaneously
11.Change the backup channel IP address of the active and standby OMUs
by using the commands listed in the following table:

Option Description
Backup channel IP address of omutool backupcard IP address.
the active and standby OMUs on
the Ethernet adapter Example: type the following
ETH3-UPDATE of the OMUa board command and press Enter to delete
the fixed external IP address:
omutool backupcard 192.168.3.60
Backup channel IP address of omutool backupcard IP address.
the active and standby OMUs on
the Ethernet adapter B_UPDATE0 Example: type the following
of the OMUc board command and press Enter to delete
the fixed external IP address:
omutool backupcard_for_omuc
192.168.9.60
Backup channel IP address of omutool backupcard_for_omua IP
the active and standby OMUs on address.
the Ethernet adapter B_UPDATE1
of the OMUc board Example: type the following
command and press Enter to delete
 Option Description
the fixed external IP address:
omutool backupcard_for_omua
192.168.3.60

12.The omutool debugcard IP address command is used to change the

commissioning IP address.

For example, type the following command and press Enter to change
the commissioning IP address:

omutool debugcard 192.168.6.60

NOTE:

o After you change backup channel IP address and commissioning

IP address of the active and standby OMUs, the corresponding
subnet mask will be created automatically.
o To change the IP addresses of the OMU, you must follow the
principle of IP address planning. For details, see OMU IP
Address Plan. When entering the command, leave a space
between the IP address and the subnet mask.
o Record the new IP addresses in Record Sheet of OMU Software
Installation Information.
13.Run the net start omud command to start the omud.
