Chapter 2: Configuration Overview; Defining The Console Interface - Avaya G250 Administration Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration overview

A new Avaya G250/G350 Media Gateway comes with default configuration settings. There are
certain items that you must configure, according to your system specifications, before using the
G250/G350. Configuration of other items depends on the specifications of your network.
A new G250/G350 has two IP interfaces for management (SNMP, telnet). These are the
Console interface and the USB-modem interface.
You must also ensure that the G250/G350 is properly configured for whichever methods you
intend to use for accessing the G250/G350. For information on accessing the G250/G350, see
Accessing the Avaya G250/G350 Media Gateway

Defining the Console interface

The first thing you should do when configuring a new G250/G350 is to assign an IP address to
the Console interface. It is not necessary to include a subnet mask.
1. Enter interface console to enter the Console context.
2. Use the ip address command to define an IP address for the Console interface.
Note:
For more detailed installation instructions, including information on obtaining IP

addresses, refer to Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G250 Media Gateway,
03-300434 or Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G350 Media Gateway,
03-300394.
The following example assigns an IP address of 10.3.3.1 to the Console interface:
G350-001(super)# interface console
G350-001(super-if:Console)# ip address 10.3.3.1
Done!
