Configuring the Primary Management Interface (PMI)

The Primary Management Interface (PMI) address is the IP address of an interface that you can
specify on the Avaya G250/G350 Media Gateway. The first IP address you configure on the
G250/G350 automatically becomes the PMI. You can subsequently assign any IP interface to
be the PMI.
The PMI is used as the IP address of the G250/G350 for the following management functions:
Registration of the G250/G350 to an MGC
●
Sending SNMP traps
●
Opening telnet sessions from the G250/G350
●
Sending messages from the G250/G350 using FTP and TFTP protocol
●
You can designate any of the G250/G350's interfaces to serve as the G250/G350's PMI. The
PMI must be an IP address that the MGC recognizes. If you are not sure which interface to use
as the PMI, check with your system administrator.
To set the PMI of the G250/G350:
1. Use the interface command to enter the context of the interface to which you want to set
the PMI. For example, to use the VLAN 1 interface as the PMI, type interface vlan 1.
Note:
If the interface has not been defined, you must define it now. See
Note:
interface
2. Type the pmi command.
3. Type exit to return to general context.
4. Type the copy running-config startup-config command. This saves the new PMI
in the startup configuration file.
5. Use the reset command to reset the G250/G350.
Note:
Most configuration changes take effect as soon as you make the change, but
Note:
must be saved to the startup configuration file in order to remain in effect after
you reset the G250/G350. The PMI address is an exception. A change to the PMI
does not take effect at all until you reset the G250/G350.
