Multipoint topology support

The Avaya G350 Media Gateway supports point-to-point frame relay connections. To enable you to use
the G350 as an endpoint in a Point to Multi-Point (PTMP) topology, the G350 supports inverse ARP
replies. The G350 responds to inverse ARP queries received on frame relay sub-interfaces with the
proper inverse ARP replies.
When you connect the G350 as an endpoint in a PTMP configuration, you need to increase the OSPF
timers manually. Use the
increase the OSPF timers with the following values:
•
Increase the OSPF Hello Interval to 30 seconds
•
Increase the OSPF Dead Interval to 120 seconds
For more information on OSPF, see
Initial WAN configuration
To configure the Avaya G350 Media Gateway to support a WAN:
1
Add one of the following WAN media modules:
— Avaya MM340 E1/T1 media module
— Avaya MM342 USP media module
2
Connect the WAN line to the media module. For more information, see Upgrade and Service
Guide for the Avaya G350 Media Gateway, 555-245-106.

Configure the WAN interface on the WAN media module:
— For the MM340, see
page 75.
— For the MM342, see
page 77.
