Mediant 8000
18.2 Configuring the Basic IP Network Parameters of
SC Boards
Basic IP Network Parameters must be configured on the SC boards prior to
connecting the Mediant 8000 to the external IP network. This configuration allows the
basic connectivity between the SC boards and external management equipment (e.g.
EMS server).
Note: Failure to perform Basic IP Network Configuration prior to connecting the
Mediant 8000 chassis to the external network may result in a disruption of service
on other equipment connected to the same IP network, due to possible IP address
collision with default/previous configuration of SC boards.
Note: All IP addresses and hostnames in the following examples are for
demonstration purposes only and must be designated by the customer according
to the network settings.
To configure SC boards’ Basic IP Network parameters:
1. Connect to the 1
st
SC board's CLI interface via RS-232 serial console. For more
information, see Section 'Connecting to the CLI via an RS-232 Serial Console' on
page 109.
2. Login as user root and provide a corresponding password. For more information,
see Section 'Logging into the SC CLI as a Root User'.
3. Stop SC software by running the tools sc dn command; confirm the operation by
typing y and pressing Enter.
