CAUTION: IP addresses 192.168.126.3 and 192.168.126.4 are the dynamic alias IP addresses. Do not associate them with any network interface.

Sample /etc/hosts File Entries for a Single Network Configuration

This section describes entries that you would add to the /etc/hosts file if your configuration was identical to the configuration examples listed earlier in this section.

#

#Internet host table

192.168.126.1 voipbox1 voipbox1a voipbox1b voipbox1c voipbox1d

192.168.126.2 voipbox2 voipbox2a voipbox2b voipbox2c voipbox2d

192.168.126.3 active activea activeb activec actived

192.168.126.4 standby standbya standbyb standbyc standbyd

CAUTION: The host names that end in a, b, c, and d are used internally by Intelligent Mirroring or Call Builder (or both). These names must be present in the /etc/hosts file.

Dual Network To configure the Primary and Secondary servers so that they are each Configuration connected to two networks, follow the instructions in this section.

Dual network configuration is possible only if the UMS software is running on different servers than the Call Processor software. If you are running all VCX software on a single pair of servers, you cannot configure UMS for dual networks.

3Com recommends that you configure the systems on which Intelligent Mirroring runs so that each one is connected to two independent networks on separate switches. This provides additional reliability should problems develop on either network (for example, if a switch fails).

The examples in this section are based on the assumption that two subnetworks (192.168.126.XXX and 192.168.127.XXX) are used. If you choose not to use subnetworks, modify the examples accordingly.

V7300 specifications

The 3Com V7300 is a sophisticated network switch designed to cater to the demands of modern enterprise networking. With its robust feature set and advanced capabilities, it is positioned as a critical component in delivering high-performance connectivity.

One of the key features of the 3Com V7300 is its high port density. The switch supports a variety of port configurations, allowing for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections. This flexibility ensures that organizations can scale their networks with ease, adapting to growing bandwidth requirements without compromising performance. Additionally, the switch can accommodate both copper and fiber connections, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure.

A standout technology integrated into the 3Com V7300 is its support for Layer 3 routing. This allows for intelligent traffic management and enhanced data routing within complex network environments. With Layer 3 functionality, organizations can segment their networks for improved security and performance, as well as enable inter-VLAN routing. This capability is critical for businesses looking to optimize their network efficiency while ensuring secure communication between different network segments.

The V7300 also boasts advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features. This technology prioritizes critical applications and services, ensuring that voice and video traffic receive the bandwidth they require for uninterrupted performance. By implementing QoS policies, organizations can enhance user experience, especially in environments where real-time communications are essential.

Reliability is a cornerstone of the 3Com V7300's design, featuring redundancy options such as dual power supplies and fan units. This ensures that the switch remains operational even in the event of hardware failures, minimizing downtime and maintaining service continuity. The robust management capabilities, including SNMP support, allow IT administrators to monitor the network effectively and respond to issues proactively.

Security features are also a significant consideration with the V7300. It includes access control lists (ACLs), port security, and VLAN support to restrict access and protect sensitive data from unauthorized users. Further, the integration of 802.1X authentication enhances network security by ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network.

In conclusion, the 3Com V7300 stands out as a high-performance network switch suitable for enterprises seeking to future-proof their networking capabilities. With its high port density, Layer 3 routing, advanced QoS, reliability, and robust security measures, it is a solid choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure.
