Media Gateway Controller network connections

Figure 12: Single server port configuration: no dual-homing
server port configuration: dual-homing (nondistributed)
connections to the external data equipment for the dual-homing feature: distributed and
nondistributed.
Nondistributed means that both network interfaces (TLAN or ELAN) of the dual-homing feature
are connected to a single Layer 2 switch, which provides a single point of failure if that switch
goes out of service.
Distributed means that the two network interfaces (TLAN or ELAN) of the dual-homing feature
are connected to separate Layer 2 switches, which provides another level of redundancy and
no single point of failure with a Layer 2 switch. Avaya recommends the use of distributed
connections, however, nondistributed is supported if the cost of the additional data networking
equipment is an issue.
Figure 12: Single server port configuration: no dual-homing
configuration for a single server configuration without redundant network configurations. This
is the standard configuration of a cost-effective single server configuration.
