zillah Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Dear Experts I have worked with Huawei RTN 950 (microwave transmission equipment) https://www.huawei.c...e/en_rtn950.htm Huawei is largest Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world according to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei Auto discovery RTN software that we need to install on our laptop called WEBLCT in the link below and that software shows that RTN ip address is 129.9.3.239/16 https://imgur.com/a/QHIoxXG To access it locally via a management Ethernet port we have to assign the ip address for our laptop to be same network address of the RTN something like 129.9.3.241/16 to establish connectivity When I ping this ip address 129.9.3.239/16 it got ping successfullyd then I can access RTN via the utility /software that as installed on a laptop My question isn't this ip address is public not a private address ? How can that be assigned for local access ? Thx Thanks Edited July 21, 2018 by zillah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Perhaps it has a built in modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zillah Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks Admin I don't if Huawei had purchase ip addresses below : ip lookup showing Source: whois.arin.net IP Address: 129.9.3.239 Name: CHRYSLER-NET Handle: NET-129-9-0-0-1 Registration Date: 6/18/87 Range: 129.9.0.0-129.9.255.255 Org: Chrysler Group LLC Org Handle: CHRYS-2-Z Address: Chrysler Group LLC Network Services Department CIMS 489-01-01 1075 W. Entrance Drive City: Auburn Hills State/Province: MI Postal Code: 48326 Country: United States Huawei was founded in 1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) I just found the link that is related to my first post http://support.huawe...81?section=j008 Procedure Start a laptop and log in to the operating system. Set the IP address of the laptop. The IP address must meet the following requirements: The IP address is in the same network segment (the default network segment is 129.9.0.0) as the NE IP address, but is different from the NE IP address. Its subnet mask is the same as that of the NE IP address (the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0). The default gateway IP address is blank. [*]Use a network cable to connect the network interface of the laptop and the NMS/COM interface of the system control, cross-connect, and timing board. My confusion why would public ip addresses be used for a local access ? Edited July 21, 2018 by zillah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm going to have the analyze this for a bit. I don't have time right now. Walking out the door. I'll be back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Eric we are still waiting for your input Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 My question isn't this ip address is public not a private address ? How can that be assigned for local access ? Yes, 129.*.*.* is definitely in the public IP range ( Class B ) http://www.vlsm-calc.net/ipclasses.php It can be used as a private (in house) address because it has been specifically assigned to an entity by ARIN: Direct Assignment: IP address space assigned directly from ARIN to an organization for its own exclusive use.* *See this link, under heading "Nets" --> https://www.arin.net...abase_text.html From a whois query: NetRange: 129.9.0.0 - 129.9.255.255 CIDR: 129.9.0.0/16 NetName: CHRYSLER-NET NetHandle: NET-129-9-0-0-1 Parent: NET129 (NET-129-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Assignment This Net is a direct assignment (exclusive use) granted to Chrysler by ARIN. Hope that answers your question, Zillah. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 This Net is a direct assignment (exclusive use) granted to Chrysler by ARIN. Thanks Eric appreciate your help this is clear to m why public ip addresses used as private one Second question NetRange: 129.9.0.0 - 129.9.255.255 CIDR: 129.9.0.0/16 NetName: CHRYSLER-NET NetHandle: NET-129-9-0-0-1 Parent: NET129 (NET-129-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Assignment ip lookup showing below (pay attention to the bold words): Registration Date: 6/18/87 Range: 129.9.0.0-129.9.255.255 Org: Chrysler Group LLC Org Handle: CHRYS-2-Z Address: Chrysler Group LLC Network Services Department Huawei was found 1987 by Ren Zhengfei the same year as Chrysler Group LLC had range of ip addresses registered under their name . Huawei is using the same range of addresses as per the link above. Chrysler Group LLC is something to do with Network Services Department Then Chrrysler might be affiliated to Huawei, otherwise the giant manufacture company (as per link below) won't be able to use those ip addresses in their gears https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 There seems to be some relationship between Chrysler and Huawei, but I can't say anything for certain. You're getting into the realm of corporate/business law. This is way outside of my areas of expertise. I will say one thing, I noticed a TON of bad press and reports online regarding the Chinese company Huawei. It seems they're into espionage, patent infringement, business spying, bot-nets, etc. Some bad stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zillah Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Thanks Eric Yeah but can you actually believe the reports or is it simply propaganda and false flag stuff? Yes I do agree with that,, need further investigation which is off topic Just I thought not necessary to find an answer , for a manufacturer does it need to use others public ip addresses while it has an options to use private ip addresses (Class A, B, C) like all other manufactures (netgears, cisco, Dlink,,,,,Ericsson,,,,) ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I just don't know. I'd be curious to know what Aryeh (Goretsky) thinks about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
