Setting Up Sideband (PPP) Connection Configuration
You need to configure an IP address and netmask for the sideband interface
before you can establish a ppp link.
1
Connect a terminal to the Serial console port.
2
When you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default name root.
3
When you are prompted for a password, enter the password root. You are
now in Supervisor Level.
4
At the prompt, type:
set interface ppp <ip_addr><net-mask>
with an IP address and netmask to be used by the Avaya P460 Supervisor
module to connect via its PPP interface.
The PPP interface you configure with the set interface ppp command must be
on a different subnet from the inband and outband interfaces.
5
Set the baud rate, ppp authentication, and ppp time out required to match your
modem.
6
At the prompt, type:
set interface ppp enable
The following is displayed:
Entering the Modem mode within 60 seconds...
Please check that the proprietary modem cable is plugged
into the console port
7
Use the DB-25 to RJ-45 connector to plug the console cable to the modem's DB-
25 connector. Plug the other end of the cable RJ-45 connector to an
Avaya P460 Supervisor module RJ-45 port.
8
The Avaya P460 Supervisor module enters modem mode.
9
You can now dial into the switch from a remote station, and open a Telnet, ping
or SNMP management session to the PPP interface IP address.
If you have two Supervisor modules installed, you can make a serial connection
to one SPV and configure the PPP parameters through one session and deploy
the PPP connection on the second Supervisor module.
