Configuring IP Network Interfaces

The Mediant 8000 supports connection to the physically-separated subnets via the
use of separate network cables, each cable being connected to its own subnet. The
following physical network interfaces configurations are supported:

"One: OCM" – one network interface is uses for carrying all types of IP traffic,
including OAM (management), Call Control and Media traffic; subnet separation
is possible within the interface via the use of VLAN tagging.

"Two: OC & M" – two network interfaces are used, one carrying OAM
(management) and Call Control traffic and another one carrying Media traffic;
additional subnet separation (on both interfaces) is possible via the use of VLAN
tagging.

"Two: O & CM" – two network interfaces are used, one carrying OAM
(management) traffic and another one carrying Call Control and Media traffic;
additional subnet separation (on "CM" network interface) is possible via the use
of VLAN tagging.

"Three: O & C & M" – three network interfaces are used, each one dedicated to a
corresponding traffic type – OAM (management), Call Control and Media
correspondingly; additional sub-subnet separation is possible via the use of VLAN
tagging (e.g. for multiple Media subnets).

"Two: OLAN & WAN" – two network interfaces are used, one carrying OAM
(management), Call Control and Media traffic ("OLAN" interface) and another one
carrying Call Control and Media traffic ("WAN" interface); additional subnet
separation (on both interfaces) is possible via the use of VLAN tagging.

"Three: O & LAN & WAN" – three network interfaces are used, one carrying OAM
(management) traffic and another two carrying both Call Control and Media traffic
("LAN" and "WAN" interfaces); additional subnet separation (on "LAN" and
"WAN" interfaces) is possible via the use of VLAN tagging.
