Setting Up The Controller List For The G700 - Avaya G700 Installation Manual

Installing a New G700 with an S8300

Setting up the Controller List for the G700

Note:
The Avaya Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW) performs this task automatically.
Note:
To complete the configuration of the G700 media gateway, you need to administer a list of
primary and alternate controllers. This list begins with the IP address of the primary controller. In
the event that the G700 media gateway loses contact with its primary controller, it will seek to
re-register with the primary controller first, then with the other controllers on this list. The other
controllers are S8500 or S8700/S8710 media servers that can act as the primary controller, or
S8300 media servers configured as Local Survivable Processors (LSPs).
Up to four IP addresses separated by commas can be entered to form the controller list.
To set the MGP controller list
1. At the MG-???-n(configure)# prompt, type the following commands to designate the
primary, secondary, and LSP controllers for this G700:
a.clear mgc list
b. set mgc list <ip_address> [,<ip_address> [,<ip_address>
[,<ip_address>]]]
where, the first <ip_address> is the IP address of the primary controller for this G700.
If the primary controller is an S8700, this is the IP address of a C-LAN board that is
connected to a pair of duplicated S8700/S8710s. If the primary controller is an S8300,
this is the IP address of the S8300.
The next three <ip_address> parameters are optional IP addresses of up to three
alternate controllers. Each of the three optional controllers can be an S8700/S8710
duplicated pair or an S8300 configured as an LSP, depending on the G700's primary
controller.
