Avaya Communication Manager 5.2 with S8730 IPSI Port Networks AND remote H.248 Gateways failover tested to S8510 ESS via Processor Ethernet (not PN). Now in customer production!
Support for Processor Ethernet and Port Networks on an ESS server.
NEW in Avaya Communication Manager Release 5.2 and later, the capabilities of ESS servers are enhanced to support connection of IP devices to the Processor Ethernet interface as well as to C-LAN interfaces located in G650 (port network) gateways.
An Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS) can use its Processor Ethernet interface to support IP devices such as H.248 Media Gateways, H.323 Media Gateways, IP Adjuncts, IP telephones, IP trunks, and SIP trunks. The ESS can optionally control port networks (G650 Media Gateways) through IPSI at the same time. When there are no port networks in the configuration, ESS may provide the equivalent benefit of an LSP. The ESS can be duplicated, providing additional redundancy to the survivability of the system.
For Processor Ethernet on duplex servers to work, you must assign the Processor Ethernet interface to the PE Active Server IP Address (IP-alias) and not the server unique address. The NIC assigned to the Processor Ethernet interface must be on a LAN connected to the main server.
- If the LSP or ESS registers to the C-LAN on the main server, the C-LAN must have IP connectivity to the LAN assigned to the NIC used for Processor Ethernet on the ESS.
- If the LSP or ESS registers to the Processor Ethernet on the main server, the Processor Ethernet on the main server must have IP connectivity to the LAN assigned to the NIC used for Processor Ethernet on the ESS.
