Setting identities
Using the Web interface, configure Processor Ethernet on the server as follows:
1. On the Configure server - Set Identities page, select the interface that will be used for
Processor Ethernet.
The interface you select is based on what the PE interface is used for and the topology of
your network. For example, if the PE interface is used for CMS and CDR connectivity, then
the PE interface must connect to the LAN that the CMS and CDR are connected to.
To register with the main server, an ESS server uses its PE interface to connect to a CLAN
in a port network. The PE interface on the ESS server must therefore have connectivity to
the CLAN that has connectivity to the main server.
In some configurations, the CLAN is connected to the enterprise LAN to allow telephony
users access to the CLAN. In this case, the PE interface must also be assigned to a NIC
that can connect to the same enterprise LAN. However, CLANs can be connected to
different isolated LANs. In order to select the correct interface for the PE interface to NIC
assignment, you must know and understand your network topology.
