15. Main server: Verify
LAN/WAN connectivity
Verify communication
between each ESS server
and the Main server over
the LAN/WAN.
To verify that the Main
server can communicate
with all servers on the LAN/
WAN:
On the Main server, use the
ping command followed
by the IP address of the
ESS server.
For information on how to use
the ping command, see:
● Installing and Configuring
the S8700 Series Media
Server (03-300145), or
● Installing and Configuring
the S8500 Media Server
(03-300143).
16. Main server:
Administer ESS
On the Main server,
administer each ESS
server, Port Network
Communities, and no
service timer.
To administer the Main server
see:
Avaya Enterprise Survivable
Servers Users Guide,
Administering ESS
on page 122.
17. Main server: Verify
that each ESS server
registers with the Main
server
Use the status ess
clusters command to
verify ESS server
registration.
A configured ESS server
automatically registers with
the Main server when the
ESS administration
completes. After
registration, the ESS server
receives a translation
download from the Main
server. The ESS server
resets to load the
translations and then
re-registers with the Main
server.
For information on the status
ess clusters command see:
Avaya Enterprise Servers Users
Guide, status ess clusters
on
page 153.
