Administration of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway - Avaya Support

Chapter 4:Basic device configurationThis chapter provides information about basic configuration of the Avaya G350 Media Gatewayand contains the following sections:●●●●●●Defining an interface — instructions on how to define a new interface and its IP addressConfiguring the Primary Management Interface (PMI) — instructions on how to configureparameters that identify the G350 to other devicesDefining the default gateway — instructions on how to define a G350 interface as theG350’s default gatewayConfiguring the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) — instructions on how to configure anMGC to work with the G350Viewing the status of the device — instructions on how to view the status of the G350Version management — instructions on how to manage and upgrade software, firmware,configuration, and other files on the G350Defining an interfaceIn a new Avaya G350 Media Gateway, only the console and USB interfaces are defined. Allother interfaces must be defined by the administrator, after installation of the G350.To define an interface:1. Use the interface command to enter the interface context. Some types of interfacesrequire an identifier as a parameter. Other types of interfaces require the interface’s moduleand port number as a parameter. For example:interface vlan 1interface serial 2/1For more information on the various types of interfaces, see Router interface concepts onpage 161.2. Use the ip address command, followed by an IP address and subnet mask, to assign anIP address to the interface.3. Use the load-interval command to set the load calculation interval for the interface.4. For a list and descriptions of other interface configuration commands, see Configuringinterfaces on page 160. For interface configuration examples, see WAN configurationexample on page 105.Issue 3 January 2005 49
