Chapter 3: Configuration overview

A new Avaya G450 Media Gateway comes with default configuration settings. There are certain
items that you must configure, according to your system specifications, before using the G450.
Configuration of other items depends on the specifications of your network.
A new G450 has three IP interfaces for management (SNMP, telnet). These are the Console
interface, the Services interface, and the USB-modem interface.
You must also ensure that the G450 is properly configured for whichever methods you intend to
use for accessing the G450. For information on accessing the G450, see
G450 Media Gateway

Defining the Console interface

The first thing you should do when configuring a new G450 is to assign an IP address to the
Console interface. It is not necessary to include a subnet mask.
1. Enter interface console to enter the Console context.
2. Use the ip address command to define an IP address for the Console interface.

The following example assigns an IP address of 10.3.3.1 to the Console interface:
G450-001(super)# interface console
G450-001(super-if:Console)# ip address 10.3.3.1
Done!

Defining the Services interface

No configuration of the Services interface is necessary. The Services interface has the fixed IP
address 192.11.13.6. However, the console device you connect to the Services port requires a
specific configuration of its network settings, as explained in
