enabled. The EDN312x detects the active ECN by the valid DHCP offer,
and uses only that link. If the link becomes inactive, or the uplink from the
active ECM320 is down, the EDN312x will switch over to the other link (on
basis of the RSTP). The EDN312x will keep its IP address as long as the
DHCP lease is valid. If the DHCP lease expires while the connection to the
active ECN is still down, the EDN312x will restart in an unmanaged mode.
As long as the EDN312x is using the standby ECN, remote storage is not
used.
When the active ECN is up again, the EDN312x will switch back to it. If the
EDN312x was in an unmanaged mode, it will restart. If it still has a valid IP
address, the switchover will be without a restart.
Note: The IP DSLAM may be powered from the standby ECN, while all
the traffic goes through the link to the active ECN.
3.2.2 IP DSLAM SW Architecture
The IP DSLAM uses four main SW elements:
• Reset SW
• Boot SW
• Application SW
• Configuration File
All four elements are saved in the non-volatile memory (Flash) of the IP
DSLAM. The configuration file is only used for emergency cases when the
DHCP Server or Domain File Server is unavailable.
The application SW and configuration file are installed on the Management
Server. The Domain File Servers stores all the applications, configuration
files and DHCP data of the IP DSLAM (Remote Storage, see section 3.2.7
on page 27, in an Access Domain, see the PEM User Guides for more
information).
