26.5.3 Configuring IPv6
The Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a next-generation internet protocol version
designated as a successor to version 4, IPv4 (also known as IP and the presently
dominant implementation used in the Internet and corporate LANs).
The Mediant 8000 currently provides support for IPv6 only in Call Control and Media
Subnets.
To configure IPv6 for a Control or Media Subnet, take the following steps:
1. Configure the Control or Media Subnet, as described in 'IP Subnets' on page 198.
Set Interface Mode to IPv6 and configure the corresponding IPv6 Subnet
Address and Subnet Prefix Bit Length parameters.
2. Configure the IP Network Profile, as described in 'IP Network Profiles' on page
200. Attach the IPv6 Control or Media Subnet (configured in step 1) to this profile
and configure the IPv6 Default Gateway parameter.
3. Attach the IP Network Profile to the Media Gateway boards and configure the
Media Gateway Board’s IPv6 addresses, as described in 'Attaching IP Network
Profile to the Media Gateway Board' on page 201.
26.5.4 Configuring Media Realms
Media Subnets may be divided into several Realms, where each realm is specified by
an UDP port range. Once the Realm has been created, it can be assigned to other
elements – e.g. SIP IP Group.
To configure Media Realms, take the following steps:
1. Click
to access the Media Gateway status screen.
2. Select the desired Media Gateway board.
3. In the Navigation Pane, select Network
Media Realms; the Media Realm list is
displayed.
4. Use the
or buttons to add or remove entries.
5. Select a specific row and then in the configuration pane, click Board Realm
Settings; the Board Realm Settings screen is displayed.
6. Configure the Media Realm parameters according to the 'Media Realm Setting'
table below.
7. Click the Maintenance icon
and select Unlock to activate the configuration.
