Defining other interfaces
Most Gateway configuration tasks are performed using the Branch Gateway CLI. Avaya also
provides several GUI applications that are designed to perform the basic configuration tasks
described in this section. Use the following steps to define your other interfaces.
1. Define a Primary Management IP address (PMI).
2. Register the Branch Gateway with an MGC.
Once you have performed these steps, the Branch Gateway is ready for use. Other
configuration tasks may also have to be performed, but these steps depend on the individual
specifications of your Branch Gateway and your network.
