Port Redundancy; Wan Services; Physical Media - Avaya G250 Overview

Summary of services

Port redundancy

You can configure port redundancy on the G350. Port redundancy allows you to provide both a
primary link and a backup link to an important resource. Port redundancy is supported between
any two PoE ports on the MM314 or the MM316 media modules.
Note:
The G250 does not support port redundancy.
Note:

WAN services

The Branch Gateway has an internal router and provides direct access to outside WAN lines.
You can use the Branch Gateway as the endpoint device for a WAN line. You can also use the
Branch Gateway as the router for a WAN line with an external endpoint device.
This section describes the WAN services provided by the Branch Gateway. It contains the
following sections:

Physical media
To use the Branch Gateway as the endpoint device for a WAN, install a WAN media module and
connect the WAN line to a port on the media module. When you connect a WAN line to a media
module, the Branch Gateway serves as the router for the WAN line.
You can also use the fixed ETH WAN Fast Ethernet port as a WAN endpoint by configuring the
port's interface for PPPoE encapsulation.
To use the Branch Gateway as a router, connect the external endpoint device to the fixed WAN
port on the Branch Gateway front panel using a standard network cable. See
description on page 18 and
port on the G250 and G350 front panels.
You can also use the fixed WAN port to connect a computer or other endpoint data device to the
Branch Gateway.
