1 OSPF and MDRS

1.1 Introduction
This version of MDRS 155 S and MDRS 155 E Digital Microwave Radio Systems is equipped with a
dynamic IP router. These systems can be monitored and controlled via TCP/IP and are appropriate for
transmitting and routing IP data within TCP/IP networks.
The transmission bandwidth of the IP channel is about 170 kbit/s when using the DCCR and about
360 kbit/s when using the DCCM. The DCCR and DCCM are data channels for transporting management
data in the SOH included in the STM-1 data stream.
The implementation of OSPF is based on OSPF version V2 in compliance with RFC 2328. The IP
protocol is based on IPV4 in compliance with RFC 791.

1.2 IP router
1.2.1 Brief description

In TCP/IP networks, MDRS 155 S and MDRS 155 E Digital Microwave Radio Systems operate as OSPF
routers. Both sides of the Digital Microwave Radio System are working as an IP router each.
The IDU or ECC Gateway of the Digital Microwave Radio System is equipped with a LAN interface and
WAN interface. The LAN interface is made available at a RJ45 port located on the front panel. The WAN
interface is implemented via one of the ECCs over the radio link and is not accessible by the user.
In the OSPF network, the radio link set up via the selected ECC represents a so-called "unnumbered
point-to-point link“ without an own IP address. The static route via the radio link is established
automatically and does not appear in the OSPF routing table. The special feature is that both routers
know the LAN IP address of the far end. Thus, from the logic view a radio link can be considered as one
single router.

OSPF and MDRS OSPF Functions and Commands

1.2.2 Router features

The routers available in the MDRS 155 S and MDRS 155 E are fully functional OSPF routers. They
interact with third-party systems without any problems. Some special features must be taken into
consideration as the MDRS 155 processor executes all management functions for the Digital Microwave
Radio System. The number of possible dynamic routing entries is limited to 2000. Entries exceeding this
maximum will be discarded.
The OSPF router in the MDRS 155 can manage two areas. In addition, static routing entries are possible
which are managed within the AS. The latter permits the OSPF router in the system to be used as

· Internal Router (IR);

· Area Border Router (ABR);
· Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR).

When used as ABR, this router also manages a stub area. In stub areas, AS-external LSAs are not
propagated. The OSPF router in the MDRS 155 can also be configured for a so-called "totally stubby“
area. In this case, summary LSAs are no longer imported from the AS.
If static routes are configured despite OSPF, they can be individually assigned attributes determining their
handling and processing in the AS.

1.2.3 Configuration

The OSPF router in the MDRS 155 is configured via the TCP/IP network or serially using a so-called
"embedded" Telnet session in the LMT Operator software or MSP appplication via the serial interface.
Please note that the following parameters can be set both via the LMT and MSP Operator programs:

· IP address of the system;

· Network mask;
· Gateway.

With MDRS 155 S, the passwort can be adjusted only via the SOA Network Management System. The
"User Name" does not have to be set. It is "marconi" in the as-delivered state.

2.4.2 OSPF configuration memories

2.4.2.1 OSPF Configuration Memory Management

Three memories are used for storing and managing OSPF configuration data (see Fig. 2-1):

1. The current operating configuration is contained in a volatile RAM.

2. For changing the current operating configuration, an independent configuration memory is available.
The latter is used to intermediately save the new configuration data to the volatile RAM before the
relevant changes are activated.

3. The non-volatile memory stores all configuration data saved and holds these even in case of a power
supply failure.

The configuration data for the current operating configuration are always uploaded from the non-volatile
memory after booting the processor. To ensure that only valid and tested OSPF configuration data are
saved to the non-volatile memory, only data of the currently running operating configuration can be saved
to this memory (command: "Save").

4.1 Introduction
First of all the following IP configurations must be made using the LMT or MSP Operator software:

· IP address setting
· Network mask setting
· Gateway setting

The information required for these settings is supplied by your network administrator.

Note: In an OSPF network, a Gateway is normally not necessary.

Thus, the Gateway entry is <0.0.0.0>.

4.2 Logging in
Access to the MDRS router is possible serially using the LMT or MSP Operator software, via the TCP/IP
network using a PC (Windows, Linux) or via a workstation.
After setup of a connection to the MDRS router in a "Telnet" session, enter the user name "admin“ and
the password. The user name "admin“ cannot be changed. The default password is "marconi“. This
password can be changed only by the network administrator from the SOA Network Management
System.
After completion of the login process, the prompt appears in the form of the IP address of the system and
the "Telnet" note. You are now in the main menu of the "Command Line Interface“.

4.3 Static routes

Static routes can be entered only via the OSPF level. The MDRS router is an OSPF router. Static routes
also have OSPF attributes.

In the main menu, enter the command

<ospf>

to change over to the OSPF command level.

Here you only have read-only access.

Using the command

<config>

you can activate the configuration mode for the OSPF router.

Note: Do not make any entries if you do not have a network plan or configuration order.

To add a static route, enter the following command:

<route add [destination network] [network mask] [Gateway]>.

Configuration Help OSPF Functions and Commands

To activate your entries, enter the

<activate>

command. Then click the

<save>

button to save the changes you have made. After the saving process, you are again at the OSPF
command level with read-only access.

If you want to quit the OSPF configuration mode without saving your entries, click the

<cancel>

button.

4.4 Dynamic OSPF routing

With OSPF routers, dynamic routes are entered and managed automatically. Using the OSPF
configuration parameters, the administrator only defines the way the router shall work in the AS and the
role it shall play.

Note: Do not make any entries if you do not have a network plan or configuration order.

Start out from the OSPF command level as described in the "Static routes" section and activate the
configuration mode.

<ospf>
<config>

Work step 1

With the MDRS router, active OSPF by entering the following command:

<area add [A.B.C.D]>

An area 2 is - for example - described with area ID 0.0.0.2. The specification of one area is sufficient if the
router shall be used as "Internal Router" (IR).

To use the MDRS router as "Area Border Router" (ABR), a second area ID must be entered according to
the same principle.

Enter the

<area show>

command to call up a list of the areas entered.

To assign an area a certain attribute different from the default settings, this attribute can be edited by
means of the following command:

<area edit [A.B.C.D] [attribute]=yes/no>

OSPF Functions and Commands Configuration Help

Work step 2

Both interfaces of the MDRS router must now be assigned to the area(s). One IDU of the MDRS serves
two interfaces. Interface 1 is the LAN interface (RJ45), interface 2 the ECC channel. Since the latter is
physically served by the system, it cannot be accessed by the user.

Using the command

<if add 1 [A.B.C.D]>

the LAN interface is assigned to the area with ID <A.B.C.D>.

Using the command

<if add 2 [A.B.C.D]>

the ECC interface is assigned to the area with ID <A.B.C.D>.

Using the command

<if show>

you can request a list of all interfaces entered.

To assign an interface an attribute different from the default settings, this attribute can be changed - for
example - at the LAN interface by entering the following command:

<if edit 1 [attribute]=[value]>.

To activate your entries, use the

<activate>

command. Then click the

<save>

button to save all changes made. After the saving process, you are again at the OSPF command level
with read-only access.

If you want to quit the OSPF configuration mode without saving your entries, click the

<cancel>

button.

6.1 "Virtual link" using the MDRS 155 Digital Microwave Radio
System

6.1.1 "Unnumbered" interface

Each IDU of the MDRS 155 Digital Microwave Radio System operates as an independent router. Only the
LAN interface has an IP address. The WAN connection to the far end contained in the STM-1 data stream
is implemented via an "unnumbered“ IP connection in the ECC (see section 1.2.1).

When planning the "virtual link“ using the MDRS 155 system, please note that the path of the "virtual link"
is not routed via this "unnumbered“ point-to-point connection. This means that a LAN interface of the
MDRS 155 system is always adjacent to the "transit area". This only applies if the Digital Microwave
Radio System assumes the function of an ABR or ASBR.

6.1.2 "Demand circuit"

If a "virtual link" is configured between the MDRS 155 and a Cisco router, it represents a "demand circuit"
in compliance with RFC1793 between the two routers after termination of the negotiation.
Normally, "hello" packets whose frequency depends on the adjusted "hello" interval time are also sent out
on a "virtual link". In case of a "demand circuit", "hello packets" are no longer sent out after termination of
the negotiation of the two ABRs. This means that the setting of the "hello" interval time and "dead time"
interval time are relevant only during the initial negotiations necessary for generating the "virtual link".
This process is initiated automatically by a Cisco router and accepted and processed by the MDRS 155
Digital Microwave Radio System. The MDRS 155 Digital Microwave Radio System does not initiate a
"demand circuit".

6.1.3 Router ID

The router ID can be set in the MDRS 155 Digital Microwave Radio System. In the factory setting
(default), the router ID is "auto", i.e. the adjusted IP address is also used as router ID.
On configuration of the "virtual link", the "virtual link" neighbor is basically addressed with its router ID. If
the router ID is changed after configuration of a "virtual link", the link will not exist any longer.
