Ipsi Address Configuration; Programming The Ipsi For Dhcp Addressing - Avaya S8500 Installing And Configuring

Chapter 6: IP interface configuration

IPSI address configuration

The IPSI circuit pack receives an IP address:
Statically with static IP addressing, if the control network is nondedicated (public) through
●
the customer network.
Dynamically with dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), if the control network is
●
dedicated (private).
Note:
To program DHCP addressing, you must complete certain sequences within a
Note:
predetermined time-out interval. Avaya recommends that you read the following
procedure completely before you start so that you are familiar with these
sequences in advance.
Perform one of the following tasks depending on whether you use static or dynamic addressing:

Important:
If an IPSI is in a port network that is backed up with the Enterprise Survivable
Important:
Server (ESS) option you must use static addressing for the ESS to provide
service to the port network.
For the TN2312BP IPSI circuit packs to receive IP addresses dynamically, you first must assign
the switch ID and cabinet number to each IPSI circuit pack. The switch ID is A through J. The
cabinet number is 01 through 64. For G650 Media Gateways, a cabinet is defined as one or
more media gateways connected by a TDM cable. This cabinet configuration is called a
G650-rack-mount-stack.
Note:
In the following procedure, you must start step 2 within 5 seconds after inserting
Note:
the circuit pack.
1. Fully insert the TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack. If necessary, reseat the circuit pack to start
the programming sequence.
Note:
For the following step, do not use a graphic pencil.
