Configure The Layer 2 Switch (Mxe Server) - Mitel 3300 Technician's Handbook

Tip: Refer to the System Administration Tool Online Help for detailed
instructions on programming the IP Network Configuration forms associated
with the CXi, CXi II, MXe, and MXe Server.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Layer 2 switch on your
network and one of the following ports:
- leftmost available Ethernet (port 17) on the CXi and CXi II controller
using a straight-through cable
- the left Gigabit port on the CX, CX II, and MXe controller using a
straight-through cable
- either of the Ethernet ports on the AX controller using a cross-over
cable.
2. Program the Layer 2 switch with the appropriate settings (see
"Network Configuration Examples" on page 301 for more information).
Tip: Typically, in a VLAN environment, an access port is used to connect the
Layer 2 switch to the controller, and trunk ports to connect the Layer 2 switch
to the IP Phones.
Tip: IP trunks cannot work through the WAN port.
3. See your IT administrator for information to set up and program a
DHCP server. We recommend that you use the controller's internal
DHCP server to provide a static IP address to the E2T
4. If you are not using the controller's DHCP server, disable it in the
DHCP Server form.
Tip: See "Configuring a Windows 2000 DHCP Server (prior to Release 7.0)"
on page 397 for information on programming 3300 ICP DHCP settings on a
Windows 2000 DHCP server.

Configure the Layer 2 Switch (MXe Server)

The MXe Server starts with a default IP address for the internal Layer 2
switch, and all of the MXe Server IP addresses must be changed (at the
same time) to sit on the same subnet as the L2 switch address.
Note:The Gigabit port on the MXe Server located on the right-hand side of
the controller front panel is disabled during bootup.
