10.2.14.1. Change of Address in a Network Segment to which Access Points are Connected Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

Let us use the configuration of Access Point AP99 as an example:
  • It is to be reached from the OpenScape 4000 LAN segment via Router Ra (192.168.1.254).
  • It is to reach other networks via Router Rx (192.168.23.1).
  • Its own IP address is 192.168.23.99.
  • The IP address for the TAP is 192.168.23.199.
  • The netmask of the network in which the access point is located is 255.255.255.0
As this involves a change of the entire network segment, AP 98 is also affected with APIPADDR=192.168.23.98.
We receive the following information from the customer’s network administrator:

The time of the address change in the access points is critical.
If parallel operation of both network addressing cannot be configured in the customer network during the transition period, the address change must be oriented to the time of transition of Router Rx and the change in routing in the customer network.
The address change must be performed prior to the reconfiguration of Router Rx and started on the access point via EXEC-USSU:UPDATAP. Existing links are disconnected. After reconfiguring the router, we would no longer be able to reach the access point and would only be able to implement the address change locally at the access point.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to the EXEC-USSU:UPDATAP, the configuration must be updated on the system hard disk. Otherwise, the data on the system would conflict with the data on the HG 3575 when the system is reloaded and could only be synchronized again with EXEC-USSU:UPDATAP,LTU number,UL.
As soon as the access point has restarted with the new address, the OpenScape 4000 central switch can no longer reach it via the signaling survivability route (if configured), or can only reach it via this route. This applies until the routing in the customer network has likewise been changed.
IMPORTANT:
If special routes are used in the configuration of the IPDA system (in access points or for HG 3500 modules), these must all be checked and, if necessary, modified. (CHANGE-APRT:TYPE=ROUTTBL ...)
