Networking Capabilities 10.6.1.2.2 Application Types Column This column defines the types of applications that are allowed on this interface: OAMP – Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning applications such as Web, Telnet, SSH, SNMP CONTROL – Call Control Protocols (i.e., SIP) MEDIA –...
MP-500 MSBG Each interface must have its own address space. Two interfaces may not share the same address space, or even part of it. The IP address should be configured as a dotted-decimal notation. For IPv4 interfaces, the prefix length values range from 0 to 31. OAMP Interface Address when Booting using BootP/DHCP When booting using BootP/DHCP protocols, an IP address is obtained from the server.
SIP User's Manual 10. Networking Capabilities 10.6.1.2.7 Interface Name Column This column allows the configuration of a short string (up to 16 characters) to name this interface. This name is displayed in management interfaces (Web, CLI, and SNMP) and is used in the Media Realm table.
MP-500 MSBG The Layer-2 Quality of Service parameters enables setting the values for the 3 priority bits in the VLAN tag of frames related to a specific service class (according to the IEEE 802.1p standard).

MP-500 MSBG 10.6.1.4 Multiple Interface Table Configuration Summary and Guidelines Multiple Interface table configuration must adhere to the following rules: Up to 16 different interfaces may be defined. The indices used must be in the range between 0 to 15. Each interface must have its own subnet.
SIP User's Manual 10. Networking Capabilities Quality of Service parameters specify the priority field for the VLAN tag (IEEE 802.1p) and the DiffServ field for the IP headers. These specifications relate to service classes. When booting using BootP/DHCP protocols, the address received from the BootP/DHCP server acts as a temporary OAMP address, regardless of the address specified in the Multiple Interface table.
MP-500 MSBG 10.6.2 Routing Table The routing table allows you to configure routing rules. You may define up to 25 different routing rules, using the ini file, Web interface, and SNMP. 10.6.2.1 Routing Table Overview The Routing Table consists of the following: Table 10-8: Routing Table Layout Destination Prefix Length...

SIP User's Manual 10. Networking Capabilities 10.6.2.2.3 Gateway Column The Gateway column defines the IP Address of the next hop used for traffic, destined to the subnet, as specified by the destination/mask columns. This gateway address must be on one of the subnets on which the address is configured in the Multiple Interface table. 10.6.2.2.4 Interface Column This column defines the interface index (in the Multiple Interface table) from which the gateway address is reached.
MP-500 MSBG 10.6.2.3 Routing Table Configuration Summary and Guidelines The Routing table configurations must adhere to the following rules: Up to 25 different routing rules may be defined. The user may choose whether to specify "Prefix Length" or "Subnet Mask". There is no need to specify both.
SIP User's Manual 10. Networking Capabilities 10.6.3.2 Using the ini File When configuring the network configuration using the ini File, use a textual presentation of the Interface and Routing Tables, as well as some other parameters. The following shows an example of a full network configuration, consisting of all the parameters described in this section.
• The Multiple Interface table configuration using the ini file must have the prefix and suffix to allow AudioCodes INI File parser to correctly recognize the Multiple Interface Table. The following sections show some examples of selected network configurations, and their matching ini file configuration.
0.0.0.0 CntrlMedia2 Control VLANs are required. The 'Native' VLAN ID is the same VLAN ID as the AudioCodes Management interface (index 0). One routing rule is required to allow remote management from a host in 176.85.49.0/24. Table 10-14: Routing Table - Example 3...
