System-Parameters Ess Form - Page Six: Assigning Port Networks To Communities - Avaya ESS User Manual

k. Local Only: Use this option when you want the ESS server to accept the request for
service from an IPSI, only if the IPSI is located in the ESS server's same community.
Enter a 'y' or a 'n' in this field. The default for this field is 'n'.
A Local Only server only advertises to the IPSI within its community. The value of a Local
Only server is based solely on its priority value. If a Local Preferred server (outside its
administered community), or an ESS server with no preference, advertised to an IPSI in
the same community as a Local Only server, the priority score of each server would
determine its ranking on the IPSI's priority list.
Servers set to Local Only can also have the Local Preferred preference set to 'y'. Having
both Local Only and the Local Preferred preference set will increase the ESS server's
priority on a local IPSI's list.
For more information on Local Only ESS servers see,
Note:
You cannot have an ESS server that is administered as both Local Only and
Note:
System Preferred.
System-parameters ess form - page six: Assigning Port Networks
to Communities
Page six of the system-parameter ess form is used to enter the community assignments
for each Port Network. Assigning Port Networks to a community associates the Port Network
with an ESS server administered with the Local Preferred or as a Local Only server. An ESS
server is assigned a community on pages one through six of the system-parameters ess
form. To have the ESS server and the Port Networks in the same community, the community
number of the ESS server and the community number for each Port Network must match. See
Figure 36 for an example of page six of the system-parameters ess form.
