Routing Information Protocol
RIP is an interior gateway protocol, which means that it performs routing within
a single autonomous system. It is widely used to route traffic in the global
Internet.
RIP routers maintain only the best route (the route with the lowest metric value)
to a destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins
transmitting routing updates to inform other network routers of the change. These
updates aresent independently of the regularly scheduledupdates that RIP routers
send.
Static Route Provisioning
The ONS 15454 SDH uses CTC to provision static network routes. Static routes
allow workstations to connect to ONS 15454 SDHs through routers. Static routes
also make it possible to have multiple CTC sessions with different destination IP
addresses on a network of ONS 15454 SDHs that are all on the same subnet. For
example, a NOC can remotely monitor an ONS 15454 SDH through CTC while
an onsite employee is logged into a network ONS 15454 SDH through a separate
CTC session. If OSPF is connected and running, static routes are unnecessary.
DCC Tunneling
You can tunnel third-party SDH equipment DCCs across ONS 15454 SDH networks.
A DCC tunnel is a series of connection points that map a third-party equipment DCC
to ONS 15454 SDH DCCs. A DCC tunnel endpoint is defined by the slot, port, and
DCC type. To create a DCC tunnel, connect the tunnel endpoints from one ONS
15454 SDH optical port to another. DCC traffic is forwarded transparently,
byte-for-byte, across the ONS 15454 SDH network.
