Installation and setup 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 G350 has two IP interfaces for management (SNMP, telnet). These are the console
interface and the USB interface. A new G250 is managed using 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.
To assign an IP address to the console interface:
1. Use the interface console command 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
Note:
addresses, refer to Installation and Upgrades for the Avaya G250 Media
Gateway, 03-300434 or Installation and Upgrades for the Avaya G350 Media
Gateway, 03-300394.
The following example assigns to the console interface an IP address of 10.3.3.1:
G350-001(super)# interface console
G350-001(super-if:Console)# ip address 10.3.3.1
Done!
