IPSI address configuration
The IPSI circuit pack receives an IP address:
Statically with static IP addressing, if the control network is nondedicated (public) through
the customer network.
Dynamically with dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), if the control network is
dedicated (private).
Note:
Note: To program DHCP addressing, you must complete certain sequences within a
predetermined time-out interval. Avaya recommends that you read the following
procedure completely before you start so that you are familiar with these
sequences in advance.
Perform one of the following tasks depending on whether you use static or dynamic addressing:
Programming the IPSI for static addressing on page 54
Programming the IPSI for DHCP addressing on page 59
Programming the IPSI for static addressing
!
Important:
Important: If an IPSI is in a port network that is backed up with the Enterprise Survivable
Server (ESS) option you must use static addressing for the ESS to provide
service to the port network.
