10.3.1 Network Configuration

The device allows you to configure multiple IP addresses with associated VLANs, using the
Multiple Interface table. Complementing this table is the Routing table, which allows you to
define static routing rules for non-local hosts/subnets. This section describes the various
network configuration options offered by the device.

10.3.1.1 Multiple Network Interfaces and VLANs

A need often arises to have logically separated network segments for various applications
(for administrative and security reasons). This can be achieved by employing Layer-2
VLANs and Layer-3 subnets.
The figure depicts a typical configuration featuring in which the device is configured with
three network interfaces for:

Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAMP) applications

Call Control applications

Media
It is connected to a VLAN-aware switch, which is used for directing traffic from (and to) the
device to three separated Layer-3 broadcast domains according to VLAN tags (middle
pane).
The Multiple Interfaces scheme allows the configuration of different IP addresses, each
associated with a unique VLAN ID. The configuration is performed using the Multiple
Interface table, which is configurable using the ini file, Web, and SNMP interfaces.
