Mediant 8000
To configure the Mediant 8000 for a specific network setup:
1. Configure the basic IP network parameters of the SC boards as described in
'Configuring the Basic IP Network Parameters of SC Boards' on page 117. You
will be asked for the following parameters:
• IP Address – enter the IP address allocated for the specific SC board, e.g.
10.8.1.11 for SC board in Slot 1 and 10.8.1.12 for the SC board in Slot 2
• Subnet Mask – enter the Subnet Mask of the IP Network, e.g. 255.255.0.0
• Default Gateway – enter the IP address of the Default Gateway, e.g.
10.8.0.1
Perform the basic IP network configuration on both SC boards located in slots 1
and 2 respectively. Ensure that you configure the same Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway on both SC boards.
2. Configure the Global IP address to be used by the active SC board as described
in 'Performing Basic Configuration of the Mediant 8000 Software' on page 146.
When prompted, provide the allocated IP address – e.g. 10.8.1.10.
3. Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board (typically located in Slot 1).
Use the Global IP Address, if you establish a connection via SSH/Telnet. Use the
RS-232 serial console, if IP connectivity with the Mediant 8000 is unavailable. For
more information, see 'Connecting to the CLI via an RS-232 Serial Console' on
page 109.
4. Login as a CLI user with administrative privileges (e.g. acladmin). For more
information, see 'Logging into the Command Line Interface' on page 115.
5. Lock the Media Gateway via the following command (note that this command will
stop all services provided by the Media Gateway):
SC-1 -- ~ -- /moGW
• lock
Do you really want to lock /moGW [y/n] y
Performing lock action on /moGW - OK!
Note: If the Media Gateway's current network separation configuration
matches the target one, this step is not required.
6. Configure the Gateway's interface separation settings (single interface, no VLANs
in use):
modify Interfaces=0
modify MediaAggregationEnable=0
modify OAMTagId=0
