Release Notes for CiscoUnified MeetingPlaceExpress Release 1.1
OL-6666-03
System Requirements
Caution Both eth0 and eth1 need individual IP addresses and distinct hostnames that are fully
qualified, including the domain name. The distinct hostname must be able to resolve in the
DNSserver with that associated IP address. Otherwise, users outside the local domain cannot
access the web interfaces.
The distinct hostname must be able to resolve in the DNS server with that associated IP
address.
•Port 1 (eth0) is primarily used for voicemedia and HTTP signaling and for the End-User Interface
and Administration Center. The hostname associated with port 1 is the one that end users see.
•Port 2 (eth1) is primarily used for web conferencing.
•Ifconnectivity is lost to port 1 (eth0), no voice connectivity is possible. Port 2 (eth1) cannot be used
as a redundancy solution.
Caution Both eth0 and eth1 must be accessible by end users. (You cannot have one connected to an
outsidesegment and the other connected to an inside segment unless connectivity is available
between those segments.)
Switch Requirements
The following requirements apply to all releases:
•Ensure that the network configuration for the two ports matches your switch configuration. This
configuration can be either 100 or 1000 Mbps full duplex.
•We do not recommend using 10 Mbps links and we do not support that for Release 1.1.2.
The following requirement applies to Release 1.1.2 only:
•Your switch must be set to auto negotiation if your speed is set to 1000 Mbps. Otherwise, the
interfacewill not synchronize with the switch and you will not see any network connectivity. If you
look at the back of the switch, it will show no connectivity and if you look at the back of the eth0
server, no lights will be lit.
