Setting The G250/G350'S Mgc; Determining Results; Showing The Current Mgc List - Avaya G250 Administration

Basic device configuration

Setting the G250/G350's MGC

Use the set mgc list command to set the G250/G350's MGC. You can enter the IP
addresses of up to four MGCs with the set mgc list command. The first MGC on the list is
the primary MGC. The G250/G350 searches for the primary MGC first. If it cannot connect to
the primary MGC, it searches for the other MGCs on the list.
Note:
If the MGC is an S8700, S8710, or S8720, the first server on the list will normally
Note:
be the primary C-LAN board connected to the media server. If the MGC is an
S8400 or S8500, the first server on the list will be either the primary C-LAN board
connected to the media server or an Ethernet port on the server that has been
enabled for processor Ethernet connections. If the MGC is an S8300, the first
server on the list will be the IP address of the S8300. The remaining servers will
be alternate C-LAN boards connected to the media server (S8400, S8500, or
S8700-series media servers), an S8300 configured as an LSP, or the port
enabled as the Ethernet processor port on an S8500 configured as an LSP.
In the following example of the set mgc list command, if the MGC with the IP address
132.236.73.2 is available, that MGC becomes the G250/G350's MGC. If that server is not
available, the G250/G350 searches for the next MGC on the list, and so on.
G350-001
132.236.73.4, 132.236.73.5
Done!

Determining results

To determine the result of the set mgc list command, use the show mgc command. This
command has the following output:
Registered — indicates whether or not the G250/G350 is registered with an MGC (YES or
●
NO).
Active Controller — displays the IP address of the active MGC. If there is no active MGC
●
(that is, if the set mgc list command failed to configure an MGC), this field displays
255.255.255.255.
H248 Link Status — indicates whether the communication link between the G250/G350
●
and the MGC is up or down.
H248 Link Error Code — if there is a communication failure between the G250/G350 and
●
the MGC, this field displays the error code.

Showing the current MGC list

To show the current MGC list, use the show mgc list command. This command shows the
IP addresses of the MGCs on the MGC list. It also shows whether or not SLS is enabled.
