The IP based +interfaces are binding to local host by default. In order to separate the +processes, the user has to bind those services to specific but different +IP addresses. + +The VTY and the control interface can be bound to IP addresses from the loopback +address range. + +.Example: Binding VTY and control interface to a specific ip-address +---- +line vty + bind 127.0.0.2 +ctrl + bind 127.0.0.2 +---- + +The OML interface also needs to be separated by binding it to different IP +addresses. Usually it is not possible to use addresses from the loopback +address range here since the OML interface needs to be reachable by an external +BTS. If only one ethernet interface is available, sub-devices with different IP +addresses can be created. + +.Example: Binding OML to a specific IP address +---- +e1_input + ipa bind 10.9.1.101 +---- + +NOTE: Depending on the application, it is necessary to have different ARFCN, +MCC, MNC and network name settings.
